The Christ the King statue in Lubango, Angola, stands as a prominent Catholic monument and shrine overlooking the city. Inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, this 30-meter-high white marble figure was completed in 1957. Designed by Portuguese engineer Frazรฃo Sardinha, the statue is perched at an altitude of 2,130 meters above sea level and offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The monument, symbolizing the Catholic presence in the region, also reflects the historical colonial influences of Portugal. Declared an Angolan World Heritage Site in 2014, the statue continues to be a significant cultural and religious landmark.
A fun lookout over Labango. We didnโt stay for too long, but it was nice to see the statue and look out over the city.

Nice views of town and the statue, a bit dirty in the general area, had some military which was looking as if they tried to protect everyone from nothing... Hehe

From 2000feet high, you are able to view all of Lubango town from a single point.

Great tourist venue making Lubango unique. It also provides great views of Lubango itself. You can really get a good idea of the landscape and size of Lubango from this location.
