Its design was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, although Cristo Luz is five meters shorter (33 m tall). The statue portrays Jesus holding a circular broad-brimmed hat at his left shoulder. The hat symbolizes the sun, and it houses a spotlight which shines out over the city. Colorful lights illuminate the Cristo Luz at night, and it also has multicolored lights in its body that shift and change.
