Cristo Rei of Dili is a prominent landmark and one of the most recognizable symbols of East Timor. This towering 27-meter-high statue of Jesus Christ stands atop a globe at Cape Fatucama, offering panoramic views of Dili and the surrounding coastline. Reaching the statue involves a walk up several flights of stairs, so accessibility can be a challenge for those with mobility issues. The site is generally safe for solo visits, but a guided tour can enrich the experience with historical and cultural context. There are no specific seasonal restrictions, but the heat can be intense during the dry season, so it's best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon. The visit itself is free, but transportation to and from the site will incur costs. A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours.
