Monumento al Divino Salvador del Mundo (English: Monument to the Savior of the World) is a monument located on the Plaza Salvador del Mundo in San Salvador City, El Salvador. A statue of Jesus Christ on a globe of planet earth and is placed on top of the tall four-sided concrete base pedestal.[1] An illustration of the monument is featured on the reverse of the 200 colón banknote[2] and on the El Salvador license plate.
The monument was built on a pedestal originally used to decorate the tomb of Manuel Enrique Araujo, the President of El Salvador between 1911 and 1913.[3] It was unveiled and presented by Araujo's family on November 26, 1942, in connection to the first National Eucharistic Congress in San Salvador.[3]
It was heavily damaged in the 1986 San Salvador earthquake, but was rebuilt and put back in place months later.
The plaza was remodeled completed in 2010.
