Kristu tal-Baħħara, Religious sculpture on Saint Paul's Island, St. Paul's Bay, Malta
The white stone statue of Kristu tal-Baħħara stands 4 meters tall on a platform, depicting Christ with a book in his left hand and raised right hand.
The statue was inaugurated in 1845 near the location where Saint Paul experienced a shipwreck in 60 AD while traveling with 175 companions.
The monument represents Malta's maritime traditions and holds significance for local fishermen who consider it a symbol of protection during sea journeys.
Visitors can reach the statue by boat from St. Paul's Bay, with regular tours departing from the harbor providing historical information about the site.
The base of the statue features a carved snake, referencing the biblical account of Saint Paul's encounter with a viper after reaching Malta's shore.
