Good morning guys in this beautiful day! 🙂
Today I will take you to Almada, at first we will check out the city and then of course - main place in this municipality - Sanctuary of Christ The King 💯

The Sanctuary of Christ the King is a Catholic monument overlooking the city of Lisbon.

It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was made on 17 May 1959. The giant statue was placed to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the direct destructive effects of World War II.

The monument consists of a pedestal which is 82 metres (269 ft) in height, formed by four arches and a flat platform, supporting the 28 metres (92 ft) statue of Christ. Its base was designed by architect António Lino in the form of a gate, while the statue of Christ the King was designed by sculptor Francisco Franco de Sousa. The four arches of the pedestal are oriented in the directions of the compass rose. The statue of Christ forms a cross, with its arms extended out facing the city of Lisbon, as if to embrace the city.

At the base of the statue is the observation deck, at 82 metres (269 ft), which lets people watch panoramic views of the city of Lisbon, the Tagus River and Ponte 25 de Abril.
