Monumento Cristo de La Paz, Peace monument near San Marcos, El Salvador.

The Cristo de La Paz monument stands 18.5 meters tall, featuring a 3.5-meter bronze sculpture of Christ holding a dove on a 15-meter concrete base.

The monument, inaugurated on January 10, 1994, marks the reconciliation between right-wing and left-wing political forces following El Salvador's peace agreements.

The sculpture incorporates melted bullet casings and weapons from both sides of the conflict, transforming instruments of war into a symbol of national unity.

Located at kilometer 9 of the Airport Highway, the monument offers free access, parking facilities, and security provided by Metropolitan Agents.

The sculpture weighs 1,200 pounds and features Christ's left hand holding a peace dove while the right hand extends in a gesture of reconciliation.
