The youngest of the New 7 Wonders of the World is Christ the Redeemer.
Christ the Redeemer, a colossal statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was inaugurated in 1931. This makes it the most recently constructed of the New 7 Wonders, which were chosen in a global poll in 2007. The statue stands atop Corcovado Mountain, offering panoramic views of the city. Its construction spanned nine years and involved numerous sculptors and engineers. The statue has become a symbol of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, welcoming visitors from around the world.
