Christ the King Statue

Like Rio de Janeiro, the Christ the King Statue includes a statue of Christ overlooking the city. It was constructed of marble in 1957 and is one of Angola's most important monuments. The Cristo Rei Statue is the same height with and without a pedestal as the one in Rio de Janeiro, which stands at 30 meters.

Next to the statue is another clone of a famous landmark: a massive Lubango sign based on the one in Hollywood. The Himba tribe girls, however, are very distinctive up here, as they usually sit in the shade, ready to pamper for some kwanzas. Before snapping away, agree on a fee.
