Description
The Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart
In 1886 Giovanni Bosco, the founder of the Salesians, was offered a piece of land at the top of the mountain to raise a temple dedicated to the Sacred Heart. Firstly a small oratorium was built, and it is still conserved. In 1902 the construction of the great expiatory temple was commenced: it is a monumental building designed in neo-Gothic style by Enric Sagnier, and is crowned by a bronze statue of the Sacred Heart. The construction of the temple was completed in 1961. An elevator takes visitors up to the top of the temple, 575 metres above sea level, where they are met with a breathtaking view of the city.
