About

In the charming city of Oviedo, the Sacred Heart Of Jesus Church stands as a Neo-Gothic masterpiece designed by Francisco Aparici in 1886. This architectural jewel, known locally as La Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, captivates visitors with its stunning cross-shaped layout and imposing tower crowned with a spire.

Antonio Calvo

Nos acercamos a la ciudad de Oviedo en Asturias (España), para visitar la Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón. Formó parte del Monasterio de las Salesas. Se inició su construcción en el año 1886, a cargo del arquitecto Federico Aparici, autor también de la Basílica de Covadonga. Se consagró en el año 1903. De estilo neogótico tiene planta de cruz latina con ábside poligonal. La fachada se corona con una estilizada torre con aguja de piedra. Hoy día es atendida por los padres jesuitas.
