Christ Blessing Statue
Patung Yesus Memberkati
A statue of Jesus about 50 meters tall on a hilltop in the CitraLand residential area of southern Manado, leaning forward in a blessing pose as if about to take flight.
Built in 2007 on a hilltop in the CitraLand residential district of southern Manado, the Christ Blessing Statue stands about 50 meters tall including its base. Made of steel and fiberglass, the figure tilts forward at roughly 20 degrees, seeming to gaze down over the city. It has become a landmark of Manado and reflects North Sulawesi's predominantly Christian culture. Visitors can drive right up beneath the statue, and from the base you can enjoy views across Manado Bay to Manado Tua Island. Entry is free, and it is about a 20-minute drive from the city centre.
