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

The Sagrado Corazón de Jesús monument stands 37.5 meters tall, featuring a statue of Christ with open arms measuring 11.5 meters atop a 26-meter pedestal.

The original monument from 1919 was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, leading to the construction of a new replica that was completed in 1965.

The monument serves as a national religious center, receiving over 100,000 pilgrims during its centennial jubilee year from 2018 to 2019.

Located at the geographical center of Spain, visitors can reach the monument through regular bus services departing from Madrid and Getafe.

The monument received the official title of Minor Basilica in March 2019, marking its substantial religious and architectural significance in Spain.
