Cristo Rey Monument 

The Cristo Rey Monument in Dalaguete stands at the center of the plaza of the San Guillermo de Aquitania Church. The monument faces the façade of the parish church of Dalaguete. It was built in 1938 during the time of Fr. Ruperto Sarmiento. This impressive monument of Christ the King was a way for the parish priest to show his concern for the spiritual life of his parishioners. This 10-meter monument stands on a pedestal with distinctive ornaments on the corners. The monument also features a perimeter enclosure and a stairway with decorative columns on the sides.
