Sumario:The CMS detector at the LHC is ready to take physics data. The high resolution Electromagnetic Calorimeter, which consists of 75848 lead tungstate crystals, will play a crucial role in the physics searches undertaken by CMS. The design and the status of the calorimeter will be presented, and its performance in tests with beams, cosmic rays, and data from the first LHC beams
