Church of the Holy Heart of Jesus, Brutalist Catholic church in Konik, Podgorica, Montenegro
The concrete structure features a 40-meter bell tower, unfinished facade, and dark interior illuminated by light filtering through a 25-meter-high tower.
Built in 1969 to replace a previous church destroyed during World War II, this structure emerged during Yugoslavia's period of religious restrictions.
The church serves the Albanian Catholic community of Podgorica and Tuzi as the only Roman Catholic temple in Montenegro's capital.
Located fifteen minutes from Kraljev Park, visitors can reach the church by following Bulevar Svetog Petra Cetinjskog southeast until Pete Proleterske Brigade.
The building design by Zvonimir Vrkljan resembles a ship, incorporating concrete spiral staircases and a backlit cross above the main altar.
