 Something in Lisbon that will make you say WOW Nov 11, 2007
Cristo-Rei (Christ the King) is a Catholic monument overlooking Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, erected in 1959 to thank God for having spared Portugal during WWII.
It is located in the municipality of Almada, located on the southern bank of the river Tejo. It is an impressive sight in itself, but visitors come here not just for Cristo Rei but to take in one of the most breaktaking views of Lisbon, Belem and Ponte 25 de Abril (April 25 Bridge). It is a great place to just chill out, have a picnic and enjoy the breathtaking view!!! Part of the Lisbon! travel blog
