The Cristo de las Noas stands 22 metres tall on the summit of Cerro de las Noas, the hill that overlooks Torreón's grid from the southwest. It was completed in 2008 and is one of the largest Christ statues in Mexico, visible from much of the city on clear days. The climb up is straightforward — there are steps — and the reward is a genuine panorama over the urban sprawl of La Laguna, stretching toward Gómez Palacio and Lerdo across the state line in Durango.
The site also holds a small museum inside the hill itself, with exhibits on the region's history. The view at dusk, when the desert light turns the low-rise city amber, is worth the trip on its own. Go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday desert heat, which is brutal in summer.
