Cristo Redentor

At 4200 meters high this monumental rises, the work of the artist Mateo Alonso, positioned right on the border between Argentina and Chile. This work of art was erected in 1902 as a sign of fellowship and brotherhood between the two nations, following a border dispute between the two, in which England was the mediator. It is 8 meters high in total, and was moved to the site piece by piece, with the difficult work given the height. The site is located nestling where the Andes Army marched under General Las Heras. This iconic monument was built by casting the bronze of cannons used in the Gesta Sanmartiniana.
