Christ of Monteagudo

The concrete statue of Christ rises 14 meters tall atop the Monteagudo Castle, reaching a total height of 34 meters including its pedestal.

The original sculpture from 1926 was demolished during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, leading to the construction of the current statue in 1951.

The High Court of Justice of Madrid determined the statue represents an essential part of Murcian cultural tradition, despite challenges to remove it.

While direct access to the monument remains restricted, visitors can observe it from a designated viewpoint located halfway up the hill.

The statue stands on a strategic location where multiple civilizations, including Argoric, Iberian, Roman, and Arab cultures, established settlements over 5,000 years.
