I visited it last november and it really seems to be much bigger that it really is, so like galessa says, it appears as a small cross from the sea level…

And in the information at the feet of the statue there is no reference to a function as sailors’ guide

Perhaps the intended guidance was spiritual, and not navigational.

But other than this article, I can’t find any mention that it was ever intended especially for sailors, in any manner.

I can see this from my window. It was never meant as a guidance for sailors, though. Measuring only 30 meters high, it can be seen as a small cross on the top of the mountain, when there are no clouds around…
