Havana Christ

Christ of Havana, Statue of Jesus Christ, Cristo de la Habana
Cuba, Havana
Havana Christ is a statue of Christ, which is located in the Casablanca area. This is one of the most majestic monuments of the capital and the largest open-air statue. The height of the statue is 18 meters.

The statue was created in 1858. The money for the statue was donated by President Fulgencio Batista's wife after promising God that she would commission the statue if her husband survived the student attack on the president's palace.

Hilma Madera, a Cuban sculptor, worked on the statue. The Havana Christ was made of Carrara marble. The statue is located on a platform with a beautiful view of the city.
