Cristo Protector, or, in other words, Christ the Protector, is the new tallest statue of Jesus, built in Brazil. The Cristo Protector is 143 feet high, which is 19 meters higher than Christ the Redeemer with the pedestal the statue is standing on. The new statue is located 975 miles away from the famous Christ the Redeemer, on top of Mount Corcovado. The Friends of Christ Association is a Christian organization dedicated to glorifying Jesus Christ and informing others about their faith.
Construction works are over, and visitors will be allowed to enter the viewpoint in 2023 and enjoy the lovely city view from above. Currently, it’s only possible to look at the statue from below. It has been in the works for three years at the moment, and almost 40,000 people have already visited the area to look at Cristo Protector. For now, construction workers are focusing their attention on the tourist complex around the statue, which has not been completed yet.
