Basílica del Sagrado Corazón, Romanesque basilica in La Plata, Argentina.

The Basílica del Sagrado Corazón is a neo-Romanesque-Byzantine church built by the Salesians between 1898 and 1902 at the junction of streets 58 and 9 and Diagonal 73. Its three naves, without a transept, are covered by groin vaults over six bays, with round columns carrying the arcades. The 62-metre bell tower by architect Ernesto Vespiniani rises on the left side of the choir.

Construction of this church began in 1898 and was completed in 1902, coinciding with the development of La Plata as the new provincial capital. This period marked significant architectural growth in the region.

The basilica is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, who also direct schools and parish groups such as the Exploradores de Don Bosco, Grupo Mallín and ADMA. Its acoustics have drawn choirs including the University of Michigan Glee Club, which performed here on 16 May 2024. The first Mass for deaf people in La Plata was held here.

The basilica is located at the intersection of streets 58, 9, and Diagonal 73 in the city center. It offers regular masses and guided visits that allow you to explore the interior and learn about the architecture.

The 62-metre bell tower, by Salesian architect Ernesto Vespiniani, stands on the left side of the choir. Its two-tier bell set was cast by Francesco de Poli of Udine with donations from Italian immigrants, and the four-dial clock was made by German technician Enrique Bornemann. The 3.5-metre cross placed in 1913 bears the inscription "in hoc signo vinces".
