Monumento al Divino, Religious monument at Plaza El Salvador del Mundo, San Salvador, El Salvador.

The monument features a white statue of Jesus Christ standing on a sphere representing Earth, mounted on a four-sided concrete pedestal reaching 18 meters high.

The statue's pedestal originated from the tomb of President Manuel Enrique Araujo and was inaugurated during the first National Eucharistic Congress in November 1942.

The monument stands as a national symbol of El Salvador, appearing on the 200 colón banknote and vehicle license plates throughout the country.

Visitors access the monument through Plaza Salvador del Mundo, which includes viewing areas, walkways, and spaces for public gatherings.

The monument required complete reconstruction after the 1986 earthquake through a national campaign called 'Lift up your soul Salvadoran'.
