nCristo Redentor
nwas named as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a list compiled by the Swiss-based The New Open World Corporation on July 7th, 2007.
n
nChrist the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor), is a statue of god Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The statue stands 39.6 metres (130 feet) tall, weighs 700 tons and is located at the peak of the 700-m (2296-foot) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city. The statue has become an icon of Rio and Brazil
n
nThe idea for erecting a large statue atop Corcovado had been around since the mid 1850s, when Catholic priest Pedro Maria Boss requested financing from Princess Isabel to build a large religious monument. The second proposal for a large landmark statue on the mountain was made in 1921 by the Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro. The statue of Christ the Redeemer with open arms was chosen.
n
nLocal engineer Heitor da Silva Costa designed the statue; it was sculpted by Paul Landowski, French monument sculptor of Polish origin. A group of engineers and technicians studied Landowski's submissions and the decision was made to build the structure out of reinforced concrete (designed by Albert Caquot) instead of steel, more suitable for the cross-shaped statue. The outer layers are soapstone, chosen for its enduring qualities and ease of use. Stone for the monument was taken from Limhamn, in Malmö, Sweden. Construction lasted five years — from 1926 to 1931 and the monument was opened on October 12, 1931.
nIn October 2006, on the statue's 75th anniversary, Archbishop of Rio Cardinal Eusebio Oscar Scheid consecrated a chapel (named for the patron saint of Brazil - Nossa Senhora Aparecida) under the statue. This allows Catholics to hold baptisms and weddings there.
n
nRio de Janeiro, the city is also nicknamed A Cidade Maravilhosa - "The Marvelous City", beside this famous place there are some spectacular and famous place such as Copacabana Beach, Ipanema Beach, Sugarloaf, Maracana stadium and of course Rio Festival with the Samba dancers!!
n
nEnjoy the most famous landscape in the world!
