Juan R. Ruiz
Statue of Jesus on the top of Sagrat Cor.
The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, lasted from 1902 to 1961.
The church is crowned by the enormous bronze statue of the Sacred Heart made by Josep Miret in 1950, replacing the original made by Frederic Marès in 1935, and destroyed the following year. The ascent from the crypt, passing through the church and ending at the sculpture, reflects the rise and the purification of the human condition by means of sacrifice and atonement.
