The distance from one hand to the other is 92 feet. Its total weight is 635 metric tons. The giant statue stands after being made of concrete and white stone separately and attached to the top of the hill. Its sculptor was Paul Landowski of France. The statue weighs 635 metric tons. The cost is 2 lakh 50 thousand US dollars. It was inaugurated on 11 October 1931 after 9 years of construction work.

The statue stands tall on the top of Mount Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro's Tizuka National Park. Christ the Redeemer is Brazil's historic national heritage. If tourists want, they can take a lift to the 220th floor attached to the hill and see Christ the Redeemer from above. About two million tourists visit Brazil each year to see this statue of Jesus Christ.

I have always wanted to travel to Rio de Janeiro and visit Christ the Redeemer, when they announced that Brazil was going to host the 2014 World Cup I was saving to go with some cousins but I got a job a few months before the date and I had to cancel the plans ... Someday I will make my trip.
