"Jesus on the Highest Hill"

Overlooking Barcelona from the highest point in Serra de Collserola atop Tibidabo is Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón. Recognizable from a distance by the prominent silhouette of Jesus, this church is fine example of neogothic architecture. The construction of the church took nearly a decade, starting from 1902 under Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia and completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal. Romanesque elements can be clearly pointed out in the exterior facade which is made is of Montjuïc stone and supports the four towers and the octagonal dome. Consecrated to the Twelve Apostles, the beautiful crypt is decorated in tainted glass, marble and mosaics, and the eight windows of the dome depict scenes from the life of Jesus. Prayer service and masses are conducted regularly, and the local Catholic community worships here.
