Landmarks - Christ The Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer, a 125-foot statue in Rio de Janeiro, has been a symbol of faith and national pride since 1931. Built with donations and designed in Art Deco style, it stands as a welcoming monument. Recent accessibility improvements, including escalators and elevators, have made it easier for visitors, boosting tourism by 20%. The statue's 75th birthday was celebrated with a performance by Anthony Landerwisky, the great-grandson of the original designer. Efforts continue to encourage more local Brazilians to visit this iconic landmark.
