Christ at El Picacho, Religious statue in Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Christ at El Picacho is a reinforced-concrete figure of the Resurrected Christ, 20 metres tall, standing on a 10-metre pedestal on the west side of Cerro El Picacho. Both arms are raised and outstretched; the pedestal's front face is dark blue, its sides white, above a wider white platform. The Honduran sculptor Mario Zamora Alcántara designed it, and a fibreglass mould made in Mexico City was cast on site.

In 1997, during preparations for the Jubilee of the year 2000, Archbishop Oscar Andrés Rodríguez proposed building a large image of Christ. A commission led by Armida de López Contreras chose a spot in the Parque de las Naciones Unidas, about 30 metres below and 300 metres from the summit, where an old sundial from the 1940s stood. Honduran donors and public and private bodies raised about 5 million lempiras; sculptor Mario Zamora Alcántara made the fibreglass mould in Mexico City and it was cast at El Picacho. The monument was inaugurated on 16 January 1998.

The official name is Monumento Nacional de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo Resucitado, and the figure shows the Resurrected Christ, chosen by Archbishop Oscar Andrés Rodríguez from three sketches by sculptor Mario Zamora. The site replaced an old sundial built in the 1940s that recalled a Mayan symbol and served as a lookout. The monument was inaugurated on 16 January 1998.

The hilltop is accessible to visitors via walking paths, with multiple platforms offering views across the city and surrounding hills. The best daylight hours for walking and observation are typically in early morning or late afternoon.
