Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, Religious monument in Getafe, Spain.

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús is a stone monument on the summit of Monte Naranco, in Oviedo. It consists of a 30-metre sculpture of Christ designed by García Lomas and carved by Gerardo Zaragoza, beside a 5-metre Cross of the Victory by Rafael Rodríguez Urrusti. The Oviedo sculptor José Antonio Nava Iglesias carried out the assembly and repairs after transport damage.

The project was conceived in 1950 by Father Vega and Ramoncita Bertrand, with backing from Sabino Álvarez Gendín, rector of the University of Oviedo, to emulate the monument raised in Rio de Janeiro. The first stone was laid on 21 June 1963, and the monument was inaugurated on 5 July 1981, eighteen years later. A public collection raised 10 of the 17 million pesetas needed.
