Primer templo dedicado al sagrado corazón.

Very beautiful and peaceful interior to the church. The floor of the church is particularly stunning in its design. We paid the 5 euros each to go to the rooftop. It was pleasant but for us, not worth the price. Much prefer the pantheon rooftop. The climb via a narrow spiral staircase is quite steep with just enough room to pass people - it is fun to go up. The view from the rooftop is nice and the dome is beautiful (you can see it close up from access from the rooftop terrace - mind your head going in 🤕)
