Christ of the Sacred Heart, Colossal religious statue in El Morro, Mexico.
The Christ of the Sacred Heart stands 75 feet tall above El Morro, featuring a steel frame for the upper body and fiberglass construction for the lower portion.
Antonio Pequeno Guerrero commissioned this 40-ton statue, which replaced a small cross where locals traditionally placed flowers during religious observances.
The statue represents a continuation of monumental religious art in Mexico, drawing both tourists and spiritual visitors to its location near Rosarito Beach.
Visitors can access the statue through Villas San Pedro entrance between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with prior authorization required for entry to the site.
Local surfers connect the statue's extended arms with the consistent quality of waves at nearby beaches, considering it a blessing over the Pacific waters.
