I’m looking for the name of the church with the tall statue of a (I assume) saint overlooking the cross-shaped building. The structure appears to be built on the top of a large cliff. The statue has her arms outstreched in a welcoming way, looking down on the building. I think it is located in Spain but I’m not sure. Anyone know the name of this structure? ---

Now that I think of it, I think the statue is not one of a saint, but one of Jesus. ---
