The statue is 30 meters high, without a stand, which adds another 8. The spread of the expanded hands is almost the same as the height - 28 meters. The monument, weighing 635 tons, was made of a combination of reinforced concrete and steatite, and its production lasted for almost a decade. The idea of building a religious monument first appeared in 1859. The proposal was made by father Pedro Maria Bos and Princess Izabela. The idea was again taken into consideration in 1921, when the 100th anniversary of independence approached.* *Source: http://rio.wikia.com/wiki/File:Statue-of-Jesus-Christ-The-Redeemer-Rio-de-Janeiro-Brazil.jpg* *The first foundation stone was laid on April 4, 1922, and the works began in 1926. The statue was made in France and was transmitted to Brazil in parts in 1931. The Statue was solemnly discovered on October 12, 1931. Among the many who participated in the construction of this monument, we can mention Eitor da Silva Kosta, the author of the project, artist Carlos Osvald, author of the final design of the monument, and French sculptor Pol Landovski, work executor. Situated above the city has become a symbol of Brazilian Christianity, as well as one of the most visited places in the whole country. On July 7, 2007, he was proclaimed one of the new seven wonders of the world.* *Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3740325/How-Christ-Redeemer-statue-came-dominate-Rio-skyline-Fascinating-photos-iconic-statue-built-story-it.html*<hr> **If you find this article informative please resteem and upvote.
