The Cristo de los Faroles in Cordoba

In the Plaza de los Capuchinos in Cordoba, Spain, a Crucifix known as the Christ of the Lanterns or 'Cristo de los Faroles' in Spanish glows. This sculpture, created by Juan Navarro León in 1794, has a unique history of illumination.

Commissioned by the Capuchin friar Diego José de Cádiz, the sculpture's popular name comes from the eight lanterns set on iron mounts that illuminate it. The sculpture's appearance developed further with the construction of a fence in the 20th century and the replacement of the lanterns with darker ones in 1984.
