Cristo Rei (Christ the King) is a large statue of Jesus Christ located in Almada, Portugal, across the Tagus River from Lisbon. Inaugurated in 1959, it was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil and was created as a symbol of gratitude for Portugal's safety during World War II. The statue stands 28 meters tall on a pedestal that reaches 82 meters, offering panoramic views of Lisbon and the surrounding area. It has become a major religious and tourist landmark, representing Portugal's Catholic faith and devotion.

Photography Tips

When flying a drone, it's important to be aware of local regulations, including no-fly zones, altitude limits, and airspace restrictions. Always keep the drone within line of sight, avoid flying over crowds or private property without permission, and respect privacy. Ensure the drone is in good condition, check weather conditions, and be mindful of wildlife and other aircraft. Additionally, many countries require drone operators to have a license or registration for certain drone types.
