The Church of the Sacred Heart is a recent structure, built in 1996 and consecrated on September 14, 1997. It has a simple yet harmonious rectangular plan, oriented along a west-east axis, and features an elegant gabled portico, supported by corner pilasters and embellished with a cornice under the eaves. The portico’s three arches, the central one being the tallest, create a pleasing interplay of symmetry and light that leads inside through the round-arched portal, flanked by twin windows.
Inside, wooden trusses rest on thin pilasters that rhythmically punctuate the walls, while the arched windows diffuse a warm, enveloping light. The light gray marble floor, traversed by a dark central band, naturally draws the gaze toward the presbytery. Here, two steps lead to the sacred area, enhanced by a large triumphal arch that frames the polychrome mosaic in the background: an explosion of colour and light that immediately captures the attention.
