A little more perspective
The sanctuary’s restoration account separates the 30-meter monument and eight-meter pedestal. Adding them gives the full 38-meter assembly used here.
A statue on a mountain can appear to tower above an entire city. Elevation describes that location; statue height describes the object. Placing the monument on this common baseline compares its own size.
Quick facts
Christ the Redeemer reaches 38 meters with its eight-meter pedestal. Corcovado’s elevation is excluded: this is the monument’s own vertical size.
