Cristo Rei, standing tall at 246 feet high, is the majestic and most visited site in the region. Perched atop a hill overlooking Portugal's capital city of Lisbon and Setubal, this awe-inspiring statue of Christ the King is truly a sight to behold. As you cross the Tagus river on the iconic 25 de April bridge, reminiscent of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, your eyes are drawn to Cristo Rei's outstretched arms welcoming all who approach. It serves as a beacon of faith and symbolizes peace and unity. From afar, as a cruise ship gracefully glides along the Tagus river towards its destination or when a traditional passenger boat (cacilheiro) ferries people between Almada and Lisbon, they pass beneath both the grandeur and the imposing presence of the bridge. At dusk, from Almada's vantage point across the riverbank, Lisbon reveals itself in all its glory. The illuminated 25th April bridge stands proudly alongside Cristo Rei while casting shimmering reflections upon tranquil waters below, and is an enchanting view that captures both architectural marvels against an orange-hued sky. Not far away lies another remarkable monument - Padrao dos Descobrimentos or Monument to Discoveries - paying homage to Portugal's rich maritime history. Together with Cristo Rei and 25 de Abril bridge, these landmarks create an unforgettable panorama that showcases Portugal's cultural heritage. Whether it be witnessing bustling traffic on busy days or enjoying peaceful moments during quieter times, there is no denying that Cristo Rei holds immense significance for locals and visitors alike. Its towering presence continues to inspire awe while offering breathtaking views over Lisbon's vibrant landscape – forever etching memories into those fortunate enough to experience its magnificence firsthand.
