Cristo Bendicente, Religious statue in Yerba Buena, Argentina.
The Cristo Bendicente statue reaches 28 meters in height and stands at the summit of Cerro San Javier, extending its right arm in a blessing gesture.
The monumental sculpture was inaugurated in 1942 during the governorship of Miguel Critto as part of a project to enhance the Cerro San Javier mountain area.
The statue features an inscription from Luke 2:14 at its base, reading Glory to God in the highest and peace on Earth to men of good will.
Visitors can reach the statue by following the mountain roads to Cerro San Javier, where parking facilities and viewing areas are available throughout the day.
The remains of sculptor Juan Carlos Iramain, who created this monumental work, rest beneath the statue he designed, establishing a permanent connection to his creation.
