Monumento al Sagrado Corazón, Religious tower monument in San Juan de Aznalfarache, Spain.
The Monumento al Sagrado Corazón is a religious tower in San Juan de Aznalfarache built on a trapezoidal base with multiple architectural sections rising upward. The structure is crowned by a 12.5-meter statue and includes a chapel completed in 1955.
Construction of this religious monument began in 1939 with the establishment of a dedicated board and was completed in November 1950. The project took place in the years following Spain's civil conflict, reflecting the period of religious reconstruction.
The central statue displays the Sacred Heart with a raised hand in blessing, while gesturing toward the heart itself. This representation reflects the religious devotion that the monument embodies for visitors and the local community.
The site is accessible to visitors throughout the year and provides space for religious gatherings and personal reflection. The surrounding areas allow you to view the structure from different angles and enjoy views across the city.
The main statue was crafted from special concrete mixed with marble and white cement aggregates, then finished with sandstone. This unusual material composition gives the statue its distinctive visual appearance and contributes to its striking presence.
