First of all, this great monument is very close to the river Tejo, it is located in the parish of Almada, getting here is relatively easy, if you are on a walk in Portugal and you are by public transport or taxi then you can get here easily because there is public transport that is exclusive to come here! the price of each transport is around 2.5 euros!

A LITTLE HISTORY🌏🧭/UN POCO DE HISTORIA🚩📷
I know well that when you see this gigantic image the Christ the Redeemer of Brazil comes to mind, and because if this monument was built inspired by that of the Latin American country, the construction began in mid-1934, it is said that the Cardinal of Lisbon in one of his trips to Brazil, he was so excited to see Christ the Redeemer that when he arrived in Lisbon he made a campaign to raise funds to build a similar one! obviously it was a daring project for a country with few resources!😮😮🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Bien se que cuando ves esta imagen gigantesca te viene a la mente el Cristo Redentor de Brazil, y pues si este monumento fue construido inspirado en aquel del pais latinoamerica, la construccion comenzo a realizarse a mediados de 1934 se dice que el Cardenal de Lisboa en uno de sus viajes a Brazil, se entusiasmo tanto al ver el Cristo Redentor que cuando llego a Lisboa realizo una campaña para recaudar fondos para construir uno parecido! obviamente fue un proyecto osado para un pais con pocos recursos!😮😮
It was only at the end of the fifties that the monument was built, it is a work with a religious meaning that symbolizes peace, love and gratitude. The main objective of building the Cristo Rei monument is to thank God for keeping Portugal safe in WWII! It is an imposing structure of 28 meters high!😏😏😏😏🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😁😁😁😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Solo a finales de los años cincuenta fue que se logro construir el monumento, es una obra con un significado religioso que simboliza paz, amor y agradecimiento. El principal objetivo de construir el monumento del Cristo Rei es agradecer a Dios por mantener a Portugal a salvo en la Segunda Guerra Mundial! es una imponente estructura de "28metros de alto" !🥰💖💥💕
ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION🌏🧭/SOBRE LA CONSTRUCCION🚩📷
The Cristo Rei that is located next to the Rio Tejo was delicately sculpted by Francisco de Sousa! It has 4 pillars, this has a symbolic representation that means that it points to the four cardinal points, at the bottom of the structure there is a small chapel that bears the name (Nossa Senhora da Paz), the monument has a large elevator inside that allows us access to the upper part of the Christ!👳♂️👳♂️

The inauguration of the Monument was on May 17, 1959, whose day is celebrated on Petencostes, for the ceremony many cardinals from both Brazil and Portugal participated, it was a special day for the population of Portugal in which more than 300 thousand people attended. ! The construction of the monument lasted more than 10 years, for it more than 40 thousand tons of (blessed) a mixture of cement, stones, water were used! Incredibly the Christ was sculpted by hand in its own structure and lifted more than 100 meters from the ground!😮😮

Cristo Rei rises 215 meters above sea level, has a total height of 110 meters, despite the fact that unlike Christ the Redeemer it is smaller by only 2 meters! the Cristo de Brazil looks much bigger because of being built on a mountain but they are almost the same size! Only the statue measures 28 meters and from side to side bone from palm to palm the Christ measures 28 meters! Christ has a heart on his chest that measures 1.89 meters!😏😏😏🌏🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏
El Cristo Rei se eleva a "215 metros" sobre el nivel del mar, presenta una altura total de "110metros" , apesar de que a diferencia del Cristo Redentor este es mas pequeño por tan solo 2 metros! el Cristo de Brazil se ve mucho mayor por causa de ser construido en una montaña pero son casi del mismo tamaño! solo la estatua mide "28 metros" y de lado a lado osea de palma a palma el Cristo mide 28 metros! el Cristo tiene un corazon en su pecho que presenta una medida de "1,89 metros"! 😅😄😄😄😄
The monument has a beautiful history and it is that the children participated in the construction, they helped to raise funds to complete the project. The initiative was baptized with the name "small stones" translated as small stones, it had a period of time between 1939 and 1958👀😍👧🧑🧒

Then in 1999 the monument passed into the hands of the Catholic Church in Setubal, we already know that the Catholic Church is independent of the state so it carried out some restoration works on the monument, so in 2001 the restorations began ! the monument is considered a national sanctuary.🤔🤔😮😮😮🤩🤩🤩

A VISIT TO THE CHAPEL🌏🧭/VISITA A LA CAPILLA🚩📷
The ticket to enter the monument and the chapel costs 4-6 euros, you do not have a guided tour so I recommend you read a little about the history to understand many things, when you are in the chapel you are greeted by a nun who will explain a Little about the pictures and designs that are on display, it's free too.😋😋
El billete para entrar al monumento y la capilla cuesta 4-6 euros, no tienes una visita guiada asi que te recomiendo leer un poco sobre la historia para comprender muchas cosas, cuando estras en la capilla eres recibido por una monja que si te explicara un poco sobre los cuadros y diseños que estan en exhibicion, es gratis tambien.👵👵
Inside the chapel we see some works that relate apparitions and dreams of the Christian religion, mentions of the Book of Apocalypse, there are photos of all the cardinals who were directors of this project, as well as an interesting replica of Cristo Rei, we see a comparison of Cristo Rei and Christ the Redeemer, they explain to us that Cristo Rei is smiling because he is happy to receive us and with open arms because he has no distinctions and receives anyone in his arms!👳♂️👳♂️👨🎓

360 VIEW👨🏫🧭/VISTA 360💻📷
I think this is the favorite part of all of us who visit the Christ in addition to its great history, when we take the elevator and reach the top of the monument the beautiful view we get from 360 degrees around Lisbon is fantastic! we can clearly see the main bridge of the capital, April 25 and range basque! and of course, as it is to be supposed, we have a view over the four cardinal points of the capital!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Creo que esta es la parte favorita de todos los que visitamos el Cristo ademas de su gran historia, cuando tomamos el elevador y llegamos a la cima del monumento la hermosa vista que obtenemos de 360grados al rededor de Lisboa es fantastica! podemos ver claramente los principales puente de la capital, 25 de abril y vasco de gama! y claro como es de suponerse tenemos vista sobre los cuatro puntos cardinales de la capital!😍😍
