Outdoor sculptures in mission settings are not only artistic masterpieces but also powerful symbols of history and culture. Among the most famous is *The Angel of the North* by Antony Gormley, a striking steel sculpture in England that stands as a modern guardian over the landscape. Another iconic piece is *Christ the Redeemer* in Rio de Janeiro, a monumental statue overlooking the city with open arms, embodying faith and grandeur.

In the U.S., the *Mission San Juan Capistrano* features beautiful bronze sculptures depicting its historical past, blending art with religious heritage. Spain’s *Sagrada Família* also boasts intricate stone carvings that merge spirituality with Gaudí’s visionary architecture.

These sculptures, set within mission contexts, serve as timeless landmarks, bridging art, history, and cultural identity for generations to admire.
