Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Modern Catholic church in Porto, Portugal.
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus features clean lines, geometric forms, and minimalist design elements that define its contemporary architectural character.
The construction of this religious building took place between 1957 and 1966, marking a shift in Portuguese ecclesiastical architecture toward modern expressions.
The church incorporates elements that reflect the mid-20th century movement for the renewal of religious art in Portuguese sacred buildings.
Visitors can access the church through multiple entrances that connect to different street levels, integrating the structure with the surrounding urban landscape.
Natural light enters through strategically placed windows and openings, creating patterns that change throughout the day across the interior concrete surfaces.
