Cristo de la Concordia is a statue of Jesus Christ located on San Pedro hill in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The statue is 34.20 metres (112.2 ft) tall, on a pedestal of 6.24 metres (20.5 ft), bringing its total height to 40.44 metres (132.7 ft). The statue is slightly larger than Christ the King in Świebodzin (if the 2 metres (6.6 ft) high crown of Christ the King is not counted) and Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, making it the largest statue of Jesus Christ in the world. It is the third largest statue in the Southern Hemisphere, after the statue of Virgen de la Paz, Venezuela and the statue of Saint Rita of Cascia in Brazil.
