This is Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) statue in Rio de Janeiro. It stands upon Corcovado mountain overlooking the beautiful city & seascape. One of the new wonders of the world, however more amazing than the structure is the view. Definitely the most breathtaking place I have ever been. This statue is represents the Catholic faith of many Brazilians. over 70% would profess to be Catholic, followed by 15% Protestant. It is said that the statue can be seen from every area of the city of 11,000,000.
