Cristo Rei (Christ the King) Statue

Very similar to the more famous statue in Rio de Janeiro is the Cristo Rei statue located on the opposite side of the Tejo river from Lisbon. Derek and I took a ferry across the river to get to the statue, which was a lot of fun. It certainly isn't quite as magnificent as the statue in Rio, which I was able to see this summer when I was there, but I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this one nonetheless. It was a beautiful view of the river and the bridge, and it was really cool to be able to see Lisbon from the other side.
