Christ the King Statue
An iconic statue with sweeping ocean views
The Christ the King statue, located at Ponta do Garajau in Caniço, Santa Cruz, is one of Madeira's most iconic landmarks.
Erected in 1927, this imposing statue predates the more famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Standing on a cliffside, it overlooks the vast Atlantic Ocean, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The statue was built as a symbol of peace and religious devotion, and today it attracts visitors not only for its historical significance but also for its stunning location. A winding path leads down from the statue to the Garajau Marine Reserve, where the clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and diving. The serene environment and the awe-inspiring views make this a must-visit spot for those exploring Madeira’s natural and cultural heritage.
