This 30m-high, 1981 stone sculpture of Christ, adorned with a large copy of Asturias鈥 Cruz de la Victoria (Cross of Victory), crowns Oviedo鈥檚 Monte Naranco, 7km northwest and uphill from the centre. The views are sensational, with Oviedo sprawling between often snow-topped peaks below and the Bay of Biscay twinkling to the north. It鈥檚 best visited in conjunction with Monte Naranco鈥檚 pre-Romanesque monuments, from where you can bike or drive the final 4km up (or walk 1.4km).
