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.
\nInside, 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7043,"template":"","tipo_luogo_sd":[362],"zona_sd":[269],"class_list":["post-6600","sd-luogo","type-sd-luogo","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo_luogo_sd-monuments","zona_sd-outsidecity"],"yoast_head":"\n
