Heart of Jesus, Religious statue in Harghita, Romania
The Heart of Jesus statue stands 22 meters tall on Gordon Peak, constructed from stainless steel with a spiral staircase inside the structure.
The statue, completed in 2011 and inaugurated in 2013, emerged from a local dairy company owner's initiative to protect the community from natural disasters.
This religious monument mirrors the design of Rio de Janeiro's Christ statue, representing Jesus with open arms overlooking the Szeklerland region.
Visitors can reach the statue via DN13A road between Praid and Odorheiu Secuiesc, with options to walk uphill or drive to the parking area.
The internal spiral staircase leads to the head section, making it the tallest Jesus statue in Eastern Europe at 953 meters above sea level.
