Christ the Redeemer

Staying in South America, we cross the continent and find a very large statue, Christ the Redeemer, overlooking Rio de Janeiro. Completed in 1931, it's the newest of the Seven Wonders. It's also the only one with a chapel at it's base that allows Catholics to have weddings and baptisms there. (Hon, if you get a request to film a wedding there, I'll volunteer to man the second camera.)
It's not the world's largest statue but it may have the most beautiful setting. It's within Tijuca Forest National Park, the largest urban forest in the world. It's become a symbol of Brazil.
This was one of my votes for the new Seven and I think the setting is what carries the entire thing. Rio has been described as the most beautiful harbor in the world. If it isn't right at the top, it's on the shortlist.
Interestingly, there is confusion between this statue and the Christ of the Andes. I guess geography isn't everyone's strong suit.
