Portugal
Christ the King
Lisbon's giant figure of Christ watches over Europe's western-most capital from on high.
About
Located in Almada, just across the Tagus river from Portuguese capital of Lisbon, the statue of Christ the King is one the most popular sights in the area. The construction of the statue dates back to 1959, when then authoritarian leader of Portugal Antonio de Oliveira Salazar gave permission for the structure to be built. Built on the highest point overlooking the city, visitors can take an elevator to an 82-meter high (269ft) pedestal to enjoy even more spacious views of Lisbon, River Tagus, and the Atlantic Ocean in the background.
