Cristo Rei, the towering statue of Christ overlooking Lisbon, is one of Portugal’s most iconic landmarks. Located in Almada, this monumental structure stands at 100 meters tall and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lisbon, the Tagus River, and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge. Inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s Christ the Redeemer, Cristo Rei was inaugurated in 1959 as a symbol of gratitude for Portugal being spared from the devastation of World War II. Visitors can take an elevator ride to the top of the monument, where they’ll be rewarded with one of the best viewpoints in the region. Beyond its religious significance, Cristo Rei serves as a serene spot for reflection and a popular tourist attraction. Whether you’re exploring the history, taking in the stunning scenery, or capturing the perfect photo, a visit to Cristo Rei is an unforgettable experience.
