Because it is located at 710 meters above sea level this gigantic construction and its location this magnificent work can be seen almost from any point of the "Wonderful City" as it is known, it took more than half a century to make the idea The original idea of ​​raising a statue of Christ on top of Morro Corcovado was by the religious Pedro María Boss and had the support of Princess Isabel of Portugal. However, the idea was not resumed until 1921, as part of the celebrations for the one hundred years of Brazil's independence, and construction began in 1926. The statue of Christ the Redeemer was built in France At the time of its creation, it was thought that Brazil I did not have enough qualified people to develop such a work of art. The statue arrived in Brazil in hundreds of parts, only the head was made up of 50, and it was mounted in the opposite direction to what could be expected, that is, from the head to the feet.
