9Christ of the Abyss (San Fruttuoso, Italy)

In the mid 19th century, diver Duilio Marcante had a sculpture of his dear friend (Dario Gonzatti) placed on the spot where had died. The statue stands around 8 feet tall, and honors the memory of a marine explorer. Though its primary objective is to commemorate a sailor/explorer, it invokes mixed emotions in visitors.

What You Need to Know: You can find the sculpture pretty or downright creepy, but there’s no denying that you’ll receive an incomparable thrill along with a bunch of Instagram selfies. Certainly not for the faint hearted!
