This marble statue by sculptor Jilma Madera has watched over the city of Havana since its 1958 inauguration. The monument has one of the most beautiful vistas of Havana due to its placement on one of the city’s highest points. Go at sunset—it’s romantic then. Some visitors take a marble stone as a token of good luck.

The statue was carved out of white Carrara marble, the same material used for many of the monuments of the Colon Cemetery. The statue is about 20 metres (66 ft) high including a 3-metre (10 ft) base. It weighs approximately 320 tons. The statue was built from 67 blocks of marble that had been brought from Italy after being personally blessed by Pope Pius XII. The figure of Christ is standing with the right hand held near the chin and the left hand near his chest. Facing the city, the statue was left with empty eyes to give the impression of looking at all, from anywhere to be seen. The sculpture, located in the Havana suburb of Casablanca, in the municipality of Regla, was inaugurated on La Cabaña hill on December 24, 1958. Just fifteen days after its inauguration, on January 8, 1959, Fidel Castro entered Havana during the Cuban Revolution. The sculpture is located 51 meters (167 ft) above sea level, rising to a height of 79 metres (259 ft), allowing the locals to see it from many points of the city. There is a panoramic viewpoint at the site of the sculpture.

This marble 20 meters tall Christ statue is located in the opposite shore of the Bay, welcoming visitors that arrive by the port. It was carved by the famous Cuban artist Jilma Madera. From that advantage point you can have one of the most beautiful views of Havana. The fishermen village below the hill where it is located is very folkloric. Also, near the mirador there is located a small museum related with Che Guevara.

Majestuosa y colosal estatua que se encuentra a la entrada del puerto de La Habana, a la izquierda, entre la vetusta fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña y el pueblo de Casablanca. Los valores del monumento, icono de La Habana, lo convierten en patrimonio de obligada conservación y cuidado.
