The Statue also shows how much the people of Riodejaneiro care about their religion. The  Christ The Redeemer should come first in all the 7 wonders of the whole world.

From the platform the statue sits on you can see the entire town that Jesus looks down on, the view gets pretty close to heaven. The statue stands 125 feet tall on the tip of Cordova Mountain. This magnificent statue has been around since the mid 1850s.
