Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús is a religious monument in Getafe featuring a large statue of Christ with outstretched arms. The structure sits on a substantial concrete base that rises prominently from the hillside.

The original monument was built in 1919 but was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War. A new version was later constructed at the same location to replace what was lost.

The monument functions as a pilgrimage site where visitors come to pray and express their faith in a quiet setting. It has become a spiritual gathering place for people seeking a moment of reflection and connection.

The monument sits on a hilltop and can be reached by multiple pathways, though parking near the site is limited. Visiting during off-peak hours or using public transport helps you avoid congestion around the area.

The monument received the official designation of Minor Basilica in 2019, a religious honor that marks its spiritual importance. This recognition reflects its significance in the faith life of those who visit and worship there.
