Temple de Sagrat Cor on the summit of Mount Tibidabo in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor (English: Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Spanish: Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús) is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located on the summit of Mount Tibidabo in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The building is the work of the Spanish Catalan architect Enric Sagnier and was completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal. The construction of the church, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, lasted from 1902 to 1961. The external appearance of the church is of a walled fortress of stone of Montjuïc, chaired by a monumental neo-Gothic church with a monumental double staircase air. The complex consists of a lower crypt and upper church with a central sole with a dome on eight columns. The whole style is based on a Romanesque line combined with the temple of Gothic verticality, covered with an octagonal dome crowned with the image of the Sacred Heart, original works of Frederic Marès (destroyed in 1936) and replaced by another of Josep Miret, of 1950. Inside the temple.The building is square, from which arise three apses, and presents a large central tower and four low, defining the four corners of the square, in which were placed statues of the Twelve Apostles, of Josep Miret. The main facade has three bodies, the central wider, chaired by the figure of the Archangel Michael in the arch of the main entrance, and John Bosco in the above pediment. Above the left door is the statue of Teresa of Ávila and on the right, Marguerite Marie Alacoque. Above the door is opened a gallery of arches with tracery.
