What to expect
The Sanctuary of Christ the King is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon situated in Almada, Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, and was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the direct destructive effects of World War II. The sanctuary features a giant statue of Christ and offers stunning views of the city. Visitors can attend masses, go to confession, and participate in perpetual Eucharistic adoration. The sanctuary is a peaceful and spiritual place to visit, making it a great destination for families and individuals looking for a unique experience
