A Polish engineering company has unveiled plans to construct a gigantic 207-meter (679-foot) statue of Jesus Christ in the northern Philippines, potentially creating the tallest statue of Jesus ever built and surpassing every existing statue in the world.

The monument, planned for Ilocos Sur province on the island of Luzon, would be more than five times the height of Rio de Janeiro's iconic Christ the Redeemer statue and 25 meters taller than India's 182-meter Statue of Unity.

Szczecin-based engineering firm Slipform has completed the conceptual design and submitted it to a Filipino investor following discussions surrounding Polish President Karol Nawrocki's visit to Manila.
Slipform CEO Daniel Kisała says the company could construct the monument's reinforced concrete supporting core in approximately 40 days using innovative Polish technology developed in 2023.

The enormous structure could require up to 27,000 cubic meters of concrete, with its supporting core measuring approximately 49 by 30 meters across.
