From this exposed location the statue of Christ looks out over Oviedo. He is shown with outstretched arms, but not as the crucified one: they are the blessing hands and outstretched arms of the lovingly drawing Christ. The builders of this monument expressed their desire for God's blessing for their city - and especially its residents.
