Cristo Luz
Christ Light (Portuguese: Cristo Luz) is a statue of Jesus Christ in the Brazilian seaside resort Balneário Camboriú.
Tourist Complex Cristo Luz, the second largest monument of Brazil, with 33 meters high, located on top of Morro da Cruz.
Inspired in the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, it is a little smaller (33 m high) than the latter, and it portrays Jesus with a "broad-brimmed hat" like circle on his left shoulder, symbolizing the Sun, which houses a spotlight that shines out to the entire city. The Cristo Luz is lit at night, also having colorful lights in its body that changes periodically.[1]
