this website is entirely dedicated to the statue of christ the redeemer, detailing history, events, and news.

the paper 'christo redemptor exposição' is a wonderful source of detailed information about the statue, including details and sketches of the monument and its construction.

Published by Ansys, this study about lightning strikes on the Christ explains how vulnerable the statue is to electricity and how to avoid damage by installing lightning rods on strategic points of the monument - The pdf containing the simulation and analysis can be downloaded on this link.

on this link we show the christ on corcovado on a wikimapia - the link as we present it is best seen using google chrome, as it might not open at the right coordinates or zoom correctly with other browsers.  arrow-back     arrow-forward
