History of the White Christ: A Symbol of Peace and Welcome 🤍

The Cristo Blanco, standing on Puca Moqo Hill, is much more than a religious monument. Its history is deeply tied to World War II and to a group of Arab and Palestinian migrants who arrived in Cusco during that time. 🌍

In 1944, this community, in gratitude for having found peace and prosperity in Cusco, decided to donate a statue of Christ as a symbol of their thanks. Commissioned by local artist Francisco Olaza Allende, the statue was finally inaugurated in 1945. Since then, the Cristo Blanco has served as a beacon of peace and welcome for thousands of tourists who come to Cusco, eager to uncover the secrets of this ancient city.
