Statue of Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor) statue of Jesus Christ is the largest Art Deco architectural style and located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The statue has a height of 38 meters and is located at the top of Corcovado Mountain is 710 m high in the Tijuca Forest National Park, overlooking the city. This statue is a symbol of Christianity, and became a symbol of city pride. This statue is an open hand viewed by many as a sign of the warmth of the Brazilian population.
The idea to build a large statue atop Corcovado had emerged since the mid 1850s, when Catholic priest Pedro Maria Boss requested financing from Princess Isabel to build a large religious monument. Princess Isabel did not respond gagsan, which was then altogether forgotten in 1889, when Brazil became a republic, with laws mandating the separation of church and state.
