Overview

The Christ the Redeemer of Colatina is a reinforced concrete statue standing 20 meters tall atop the Morro do Outeiro hill. It serves as a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Colatina and the Doce River valley in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Originally inaugurated in the late 20th century, the site was designed to be a viewpoint for the urban landscape. The pedestal includes a small chapel area, and the surrounding grounds provide panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountainous terrain. It functions as a public observation deck and a religious site within the Bela Vista neighborhood.
