Christ the Redeemer, also known as Christ of Corcovado, is an art deco statue depicting Jesus of Nazareth with arms outstretched, facing the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Located at the top of Corcovado Hill, 709 meters above sea level, this imposing statue dominates much of the city. Built with reinforced concrete and soapstone, it is 30 meters high on a pedestal of 8 meters. It was inaugurated on October 12, 1931 after five years of construction and is the fifth largest statue of Jesus in the world.

Considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world, the statue is renowned for its impressive height and art deco style. With arms extending 28 meters and weighing 1,145 tons, the monument is administered by the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro and is located within the Tijuca National Park. The idea of building this statue arose in the 19th century, but it was in the 20th century when the project became a reality thanks to donations from the Catholic Circle of Rio. The statue was designed and built in collaboration between Brazilian and French artists and engineers.

Christ the Redeemer is a symbol of Christianity and a cultural icon of Rio de Janeiro and Latin America. In addition to being a major tourist destination, with more than 2 million visitors annually, the statue is a place of pilgrimage for many believers. UNESCO included Christ the Redeemer on its World Heritage List in 2012 as part of Rio de Janeiro's landscape.
