Sacro Cuore in Ponte Lambro Church, Modern Catholic church in Ponte Lambro district, Milan, Italy.
Description
Sacro Cuore in Ponte Lambro is a modern Catholic church in Milan's Ponte Lambro district, consisting of two rectangular structures positioned at different heights. The larger volume contains the assembly hall and altar, while a free-standing bell tower completes the composition.
History
The building was designed by architect Guido Maffezzoli and opened in 1964 as part of Cardinal Montini's initiative to build 22 new churches. This expansion responded to the growing population in Milan's outer districts.
Culture
The baptistery displays a stained glass window showing the tree of life, created by artist Guido Strazza, who also designed the Way of the Cross. These artistic works shape the spiritual experience inside the building.
Practical
The church is located at Milan's southeastern edge and serves the residential community of Ponte Lambro with regular services. Visitors can explore the interior during opening hours and view the artworks in the baptistery.
Did you know?
The building maintains striking horizontal lines along Via Parea that contrast sharply with the vertical emphasis of the campanile. This architectural dialogue between horizontal and vertical elements creates an unusual composition in the urban landscape.
