Cristo da Paz

The Cristo da Paz stands 30.2 meters tall and weighs approximately 510.5 tons, constructed with reinforced concrete and iron materials on a hilltop location.

Construction began on January 9, 1998, and the monument was officially inaugurated on June 26, 1999, after community support transformed the original 10-meter design into the current structure.

The monument was designated as municipal cultural heritage through Decree 628 in 2003, serving as a focal point for religious celebrations and community gatherings.

Visitors can access the monument via a dirt road through rural areas, following the Sacramento River to a bridge, then ascending approximately 1 kilometer to the site.

Originally planned as a 10-meter tourist attraction, community enthusiasm led to its expansion, making it the third-largest Christ statue monument in Brazil.
