Christ the King statue, Colossal statue of Jesus on Cerro de los Cristales hill, Cali, Colombia.

Cristo Rey is a 26-metre statue of Christ on Cerro Los Cristales, at 1,440 metres above sea level west of Cali. Made of iron and concrete, it weighs 464 tons, with 5 of its metres belonging to the pedestal. The figure stands with arms open above the access road that climbs to its base.

The Jesuit priest José María Arteaga commissioned the Palmiran artist Gerardo Navia Carvajal, who made only a model and abandoned the project. Arteaga brought the model to Alideo Tazzioli Fontanini, an Italian sculptor from Pietrasanta, who made a new model; his brother Adelindo, an architect, did the calculations. Work on the hill began with a cement platform and wooden scaffolding, funded as Arteaga and his boy scouts raised money, and the statue was inaugurated on 25 October 1953 for the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the War of a Thousand Days.

The site draws believers who use the vantage point for prayer and reflection over the valley below. The pathways around it serve as spaces for personal contemplation and spiritual connection.

Access is by Avenida Circunvalar, entering at the Los Cristales CAI; the Vía a Cristo Rey is a paved road that climbs to the pedestal. Visitors can approach the CAI at the Circunvalar crossing or the 'Y' post toward Yanaconas to go up with police company. Entry is free with prior registration with Cali's environmental department (DAGMA); police surveillance runs 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The site has a chapel, restaurant and parking.

The hill takes its name from quartz deposits found in the surrounding area, which give the site a geological distinction. These crystals can sometimes be seen during walks around the monument.
