Pamphlet information from Mario is Missing!
Standing at the top of the 2,037 foot peak of Corcovado, the statue of Christ the redeemer holds out his arms as if to embrace the city of Rio de Janeiro. The concrete image of Jesus Christ weighs 700 tons. In 1931 most of Rio's churches pooled their collected money and erected the statue on top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is often in fog, but the huge spotlights keep the figure visible from every corner of the city.
