Cristo Rei (Christ the King statue)

Christ statue also known as Sacred Heart statue

The statue of Christ the King of Garajau was erected in honour of the Sagrado Coração de Jesus. It can be found at the viewpoint overlooking Ponta do Garajau, in the municipality of Santa Cruz. 

The statue of Christ the King of Garajau was designed by the French sculptor Georges Serraz. It is a very imposing sculpture of Jesus Christ with his arms open and facing the Atlantic Ocean.  It simulates the very famous Christ The Redeemer statue in Brazil, it is just not as high.

You have a lovely view of Funchal, particularly the Port of Funchal. This viewpoint is used by many people to watch the Fireworks Display on New Years Eve
