Cristo Rey stands above Pachuca on Cerro de Santa Apolonia, surrounded by the old mining landscape that shaped the city. The statue and base reach 33 metres, and the terrace gives one of the clearest looks over Pachuca's valley, hillsides, stadium, churches, and busy roads.
It is an easy taxi ride or tourist-tram outing from the centre. The view is the main reason to go, but the mining story gives the place a local weight that keeps it from feeling like a generic hilltop monument.
