Cristo de Chiapas, Religious monument in Copoya, Mexico.

Cristo de Chiapas is a 64-metre cross-shaped monument on the Copoya plateau near Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Its hollow body is built from steel bars and connector nodes clad in silver and gold stainless-steel panels, with a recessed cut-out forming the figure of Christ at the crossing. It stands on a tiered concrete base.

Bishop Felipe Aguirre Franco proposed the monument on 23 November 1997, during the feast of Christ the King. A site on Cerro Mactumatzá was rejected for its terrain, antennas and ecological protection, so the Meseta de Copoya was chosen. The city donated the land in 2005 under Mayor Juan Sabines Guerrero, and the Patronato Cristo de Copoya was legally constituted on 4 May 2007. The cornerstone was laid on 29 April 2007; the work, designed by architect Jaime Latapí López, was inaugurated on 6 December 2011.

The monument serves as a gathering place for Catholic ceremonies and religious celebrations in the region. People come here to pray together and share their faith with others.

The site offers access to the monument structure itself and a religious complex at its base with informational displays. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon for better light and manageable heat.

The cross is a hollow steel lattice: 50 tonnes of bars and connector nodes on a 2,000-tonne reinforced concrete foundation, clad in silver and gold stainless steel panels. The figure of Christ is cut into the structure rather than mounted on it, so the profile appears as an opening against the sky.
