Thank you again, my Friend!
I visited Lisbon twice, but I do not recall this Christ statue. It appears to be a recent addition.
This article is about the statue in Almada, Portugal. For the statue in Dili, East Timor, see Cristo Rei of Dili.

The Christ the King statue (Portuguese: Cristo Rei) is a Catholic monument and shrine dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ overlooking the city of Lisbon in the central part of Portugal. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), after the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon visited that monument. The project was inaugurated on 17 May 1959, while Portugal was ruled by the authoritarian President of the Council of Ministers António de Oliveira Salazar who gave his final permission for the project. The giant statue in cement was erected to express gratitude because the Portuguese were spared the effects of World War.
P.S.
And you are ALWAYS WELLCOME, my dear Friend Sabirjan!
Hugs from Lisbon!
