Santuario de Cristo Rey

one hour

The Monument to Christ the King, located at the top of the Cerro del Cubilete, is one of the most emblematic symbols of the Catholic faith in Mexico. Its construction began in the 1940s to commemorate the religious devotion of the Mexican people, particularly in the post-revolutionary era and after the Cristero War, which defended freedom of worship. The statue, 20 metres high, was erected in the geographical centre of the country and depicts Christ King of Peace with outstretched arms as a protective figure. This site has been a point of pilgrimage and is testimony to the religious history of the country.
