How They Pulled Off the Impossible: Christ the Redeemer's Journey to the Top of Corcovado

Christ the Redeemer, towering over Rio de Janeiro from the peak of Corcovado Mountain, is a sight recognized around the world. But while the statue is celebrated for its beauty and symbolism, its construction was anything but straightforward. So, how did such a massive statue end up at the top of this mountain?

A Monumental Challenge

In the 1920s, the idea to build Christ the Redeemer came as Brazil celebrated its centennial of independence. The goal was to create a symbol of peace and unity that could watch over Rio. But constructing a 98-foot-tall statue with a 92-foot arm span was one thing—getting it to the top of Corcovado, a mountain standing over 2,300 feet high, was another challenge entirely.

The statue was designed by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, with French sculptor Paul Landowski crafting the head and hands. Christ the Redeemer is made from reinforced concrete, with a soapstone exterior chosen for its resistance to harsh weather conditions. But even with modern tools, assembling the statue on such rugged terrain required creative solutions.

Transporting a Giant

Since Corcovado’s rocky and steep terrain made traditional transportation impossible, the only way to get the statue's parts up the mountain was by using the Corcovado Rack Railway. Each piece of the statue was transported in sections by train—a process that took incredible precision and patience. Once the segments arrived at the top, they were carefully reassembled like a giant puzzle. This process took nearly nine years, with the statue finally completed and unveiled to the world in 1931.

A Symbol of Hope

Since its unveiling, Christ the Redeemer has stood as a global symbol of faith, peace, and resilience. It has also become a cherished part of Brazilian culture and a source of national pride. In 2007, it was even named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, further solidifying its place in history.

Visiting Tips

Best Time to Go: To avoid the crowds and get the best view, aim to visit early in the morning. Watching the sunrise from the base of the statue is a magical experience.

How to Get There: The easiest and most scenic way to reach Christ the Redeemer is by taking the Corcovado Rack Railway. The train ride offers stunning views of Rio and the surrounding rainforest.

Photography Tips: For the best photos, capture the statue from below to emphasize its scale. Don’t forget to snap panoramic shots of the city from the top—the views are unbeatable.

Conclusion

Christ the Redeemer isn’t just a statue; it’s a story of determination and ingenuity. The effort required to construct and assemble it atop Corcovado Mountain is as awe-inspiring as the statue itself. Today, it stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, watching over Rio and reminding us of the extraordinary feats that human willpower can achieve.

Taylor Swift's Arrival in Brazil Turns Iconic, Rio's Christ The Redeemer Statue Lights Up in a Dazzling Welcome

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: During her first show in Rio de Janeiro, Taylor Swift took a break to ensure that fans were provided with water. As temperatures neared 100 degrees on Friday, prompting an excessive heat warning, Swift halted the performance and threw a water bottle into the crowd. Addressing the situation during the Evermore set, she pointed to a floor section and said, "There are people that need water right here, maybe 30, 35, 40 feet back. So whoever is in charge of giving them that, just make sure that happens. Can I get a signal that you know where they are?"   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Olivia Levin (@swiftiesforeternity) While the crowd chanted, "Water, water, water, water," Swift, off-stage, spoke to her team, asking, "Do you see the phones?" Late spring in Rio, coupled with humidity, was expected to make Saturday feel like 109 degrees. In the "Red" era, before the 10-minute version of "All Too Well," Taylor seized a water bottle from one side of the diamond stage and effortlessly tossed it to fans on the other side while singing: "And you held my lifeless frame, and I know it's long gone, and there was nothing else I could do.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Olivia Levin (@swiftiesforeternity) " Taylor Swift expressed gratitude to Brazilians before playing "Champagne Problems," acknowledging a fan campaign that projected a "Junior Jewels" inspired T-shirt onto the Christ the Redeemer statue. Taylor Swift, who started the show by welcoming the sold-out crowd in Portuguese, has two more shows in Rio de Janeiro before heading to São Paulo for the final stop of the 2023 tour leg. After lobbying from "Swifties," Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue lit up to welcome Taylor Swift to Brazil ahead of a concert on Friday as part of her global blockbuster "Eras Tour."   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Santuário Cristo Redentor (@cristoredentoroficial) Fans gathered at the statue, and it went dark before being reilluminated with a light-projection tribute to Swift's "Junior Jewels" T-shirt, reading "Welcome to Brasil" in English but using the Portuguese spelling of "Brazil." The tribute followed a social media campaign by fans, and the Catholic rector responsible for the statue, Omar Raposo, challenged them to raise 300,000 reais ($60,000) for charity. Despite technical problems with the fundraising site, over 180,000 reais were raised in less than 24 hours. The funds will be used for food baskets to mark the World Day of the Poor on November 19.

Do you know how one of the most famous Andrei Rublev’s icons “The Savior” was found? The story goes that the holy image was spotted in a dilapidated woodshed on the territory of the Assumption Cathedral in Zvenigorod. As you see in the featured picture, the icon has seen better days. It was a miracle that it was discovered by the collector, restorer, and icon painter Gregory Chirikov in 1919. If it weren’t for him, the precious piece of religious art could have been lost forever.
