Cristo Rey de Pachuca, Marble statue in Pachuca, Mexico.
The Cristo Rey de Pachuca reaches 33 meters in height, with 23 meters for the statue and 10 meters for its base on Santa Apolonia hill.
In 1940, miners trapped in the Paricutín mine pledged to construct a monument if rescued, leading to the statue's construction between 1988 and 1996.
The monument represents both religious devotion and mining heritage, becoming a focal point for Catholic celebrations and community gatherings throughout the year.
Located at 2,662 meters above sea level, the observation platform at the base provides views across the entire city of Pachuca.
The statue's arms position carries dual meanings: welcoming visitors and protecting against strong winds that sweep through the region.
