Sanctuary of Christ the King

This guide to the Sanctuary of Christ the King in Lisbon opens in April 1940, when Portuguese bishops gathered at Fatima and made a wartime vow tied to the country staying out of the fighting. It follows Cardinal Cerejeira, who first envisioned the monument after a visit to Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer, and the parish campaign that had children saving coins for it for nearly two decades. Take in the view across the Tagus from where you stand.
