The symbol of Maratea and viewable from multiple vantage points along the coast is this 22m-high statue of Christ with his arms outstretched (completed in 1965). Slightly smaller than the similar Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, this one is made of concrete with a Carrara marble covering and sits atop 644m-high Monte San Biagio.
A dramatic winding asphalt road leads to the top, although it's more fun to walk the steep path (number 1) that starts off Via Cappuccini in Maratea Borgo.
The statue faces inland towards the Basilica di San Biagio opposite.
