Overview
- The fourth horizontal arm has been installed on the Tower of Jesus cross, leaving only the vertical top piece to complete the 172.5‑meter height.
- Recent wind forced delays because the large, hollow components require precise, low‑wind crane lifts to avoid damaging the monument.
- The cross will measure about 17 meters high and 13.5 meters wide, clad in white glazed ceramic and crystal for daytime shine and nighttime lighting.
- Spotlights on the Evangelists’ and apostles’ towers will illuminate the cross, which will be hollow and visitable with an Agnus Dei sculpture by Andrea Mastrovito inside.
- The construction board targets assembly completion in the coming weeks and an official June inauguration; reports note differing figures for the arms’ size and weight but agree on the final design and geometry.
