Sacred Heart, Catholic church building in Lauriston Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Sacred Heart Church displays neoclassical architecture with grand columns and symmetrical design elements in a prominent location between Grassmarket and Tollcross.
Father Richard Vaughan SJ designed the church in 1860, followed by modifications from architect Archibald Macpherson in 1884 to enhance its structural features.
The church maintains its traditional connection to Italian and Irish communities who settled near Grassmarket, with many descendants continuing their religious practices today.
The church opens daily from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, offering services on Saturdays at 6:30 PM and Sundays at 7:45 AM, 10:45 AM, and 8:00 PM.
The interior features the Holyrood Madonna wood carving from the 16th century and large canvas paintings of the Stations of the Cross by Peter Rauth.
