Third Millennium Cross (Cruz del Tercer Milenio)

Built at the turn of the 21st century, the Third Millennium Cross (Cruz del Tercer Milenio) rises 272 feet (83 meters) above the Chilean city of Coquimbo. Perched on El Vigía Hill, this imposing cross is believed to be the tallest Christian monument in South America, even surpassing Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer statue in height. Visitors can marvel at its sheer scale and the panoramic views it offers of the surrounding landscape. The cross stands as a significant symbol of faith and a striking landmark visible from various points in the city.
