The world famous statue “Christ the Redeemer”, counted among the New Seven Wonders of the World, is located in which Brazilian city?

Introduction / Context:
Some monuments become global symbols not just of a country but of entire regions or faith traditions. “Christ the Redeemer” is one such iconic statue that represents both Brazil and Christianity around the world. The question asks you to recall which specific Brazilian city hosts this monument, a very popular topic in general knowledge, tourism awareness, and world geography sections.

Given Data / Assumptions:
• The monument is “Christ the Redeemer”.
• It is a large statue of Jesus Christ and a major tourist attraction.
• The monument is in Brazil, and the options list well known Brazilian cities.
• The task is to identify the correct host city from the given choices.

Concept / Approach:
To answer this, you should recall that “Christ the Redeemer” stands on the Corcovado mountain and overlooks the city that is famous for its beaches, carnival, and Sugarloaf Mountain. That city is Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s capital Brasilia, as well as cities like Salvador, Porto Alegre, and Sao Paulo, are important but they do not host this specific statue. Linking the image of the statue with the panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro helps you firmly remember the correct location.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify the monument named “Christ the Redeemer” as the large statue of Jesus with outstretched arms in Brazil. Step 2: Recall images or descriptions of this statue looking down over a large bay and famous beaches. Step 3: Connect these images with the city known globally for Copacabana, Ipanema, and the annual carnival, which is Rio de Janeiro. Step 4: Check the options and locate Rio De Janeiro among them. Step 5: Choose “Rio De Janeiro” as the correct answer.

Verification / Alternative check:
As a cross check, remember that Brasilia is a planned capital city with modernist architecture by Oscar Niemeyer, not the home of “Christ the Redeemer”. Salvador is known for Afro Brazilian culture and colonial architecture. Sao Paulo is a large financial and industrial centre, and Porto Alegre is a southern city. Only Rio de Janeiro is consistently associated with this statue in travel guides, postcards, and documentaries, confirming your choice.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Salvador: While historically and culturally significant, Salvador does not host “Christ the Redeemer”, so it is not correct.
Porto Alegre: This city lies in southern Brazil and is not associated with the famous statue, making this option wrong.
Brasilia: Brasilia is the administrative capital with futuristic buildings, but the statue in question is not located there.
Sao Paulo: Although Sao Paulo is Brazil’s largest city, it is not the home of this iconic monument, so this option is incorrect.

Common Pitfalls:
Students sometimes confuse the host city because they know the monument is in Brazil but are unclear about Brazilian geography. Another common error is to assume that all major monuments must be in the political capital, and therefore guess Brasilia without checking the cultural and touristic context. Understanding the difference between political capital and cultural icons avoids such mistakes and strengthens your world geography knowledge.

Final Answer:
“Christ the Redeemer” is located in the Brazilian city of Rio De Janeiro.
