Christ of the Abyss is a submerged bronze statue of Jesus, the first & original statue is located in the Mediterranean Sea right off San Fruttuoso in the Italian Riviera.

In 1954 the sculpture was placed 17 meters underwater. Christ’s statue is 2½ metres tall.

Other casts of the statue are located in other places worldwide – not only underwater but also in churches and museums.

In 1961 a copy was placed in Grenada.

In 1965 it was placed approximately in just 8 meters depth, close to Key Largo, Florida, in the United States.
