Facts and practical information

Kristu tal-Baħħara is an underwater statue of Jesus Christ two kilometers off the coast of Malta. It was made by Maltese sculptor Alfred Camilleri Cauchi from concrete covered fiberglass. Cauchi was commissioned to perform this work by a committee of divers led by Raniero Borg to honour the visit of Pope John Paul II to Malta in 1990. The statue is modeled on the bronze Christ of the Abyss at San Fruttuoso, Italy and is one of many copies in locations around the world. ()
