Santuario Nacional de Cristo Rei - The statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, served as inspiration during a visit to the city in 1934.

The monument to Christ the King was also constructed to fulfill a vow made by the Portuguese episcopate gathered at Fatima on April 20, 1940, asking God to spare Portugal from participating in World War II. Prime Minister Salazar, valuing the long-standing friendship with the United Kingdom dating back to the 14th century, chose to remain neutral, and thus Portugal did not join the war.

The first stone of the monument was laid on December 18, 1949, after the war had ended. It was inaugurated on May 17, 1959.
