Christ of the Lanterns

Local nameCristo de los Faroles
LocationCórdoba, Spain

The Christ of Atonement and Mercy, popularly known as the Christ of the Lanterns, is a large Crucifix located at the Plaza de los Capuchinos in Cordoba, Spain.

The sculpture was created in 1794 by the sculptor Juan Navarro León under a commission by the Capuchin monk Diego José de Cádiz. Its popular name comes from the eight lanterns set on iron mounts that illuminate it. The current appearance of the sculpture has developed with the construction of a fence in the 20th century and the replacement of the lanterns with darker ones in 1984.
