Cristo de las Noas, Colossal statue of Jesus on Cerro de las Noas hill, Torreón, Mexico.

The Cristo de las Noas statue rises 21.80 meters high and weighs 580 tons of reinforced concrete, standing guard over the city of Torreón.

Vladimir Alvarado designed this monumental structure, which took 27 years to complete, starting in 1973 under José Rodriguez Tenorio's direction until 2000.

The statue derives its name from the native desert cactus species growing on Cerro de las Noas, connecting the monument to local vegetation.

Visitors can reach the statue by car with available parking, and the site includes a panoramic restaurant offering views across the Comarca Lagunera region.

This structure ranks as the largest Christ statue in North America and the third largest in Latin America, following Rio de Janeiro and Cochabamba monuments.

Inception: 1973
