Monumento al Redentore, Bronze statue of Jesus on Monte San Giuliano, Italy.

The Monumento al Redentore stands 485 centimeters tall on Monte San Giuliano, offering views across central Sicily from its elevated position at 727 meters.

The statue was commissioned in 1900 under Pope Leo XIII's initiative to construct twenty monuments commemorating twenty centuries since the redemption in strategic locations.

The Redeemer Monument serves as a central point for religious ceremonies, with the main celebration occurring on August 6th during the Feast of Transfiguration.

Visitors can reach the monument by following marked paths up Monte San Giuliano, where they can examine the detailed bronze work and limestone base.

The statue was created by melting two papal cannons and required six pairs of oxen to transport the two-ton structure up the mountain.
