Cristo Rei of Dili, Monument in Dili, East Timor.
The Cristo Rei statue stands 27 meters tall on Cape Fatucama, featuring a copper Jesus Christ figure positioned atop a spherical globe structure.
President Suharto of Indonesia inaugurated the monument in 1996 as a gift to mark East Timor's 20th year as an Indonesian province.
The monument includes 14 stations along its staircase, representing the Christian Stations of the Cross leading to the summit of Cape Fatucama.
Visitors reach the statue by climbing 570 concrete steps from Cristo Rei Beach, leading through a tree-covered path to the observation point.
The statue body consists of 27 separate copper sections, with steel wire ropes securing the arms for protection against strong coastal winds.
