The Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
in Barcelona was designed by architect Enric Sagnier and completed in 1961. It sits on the summit of Mount Tibidabo and features a neo-Byzantine crypt and Roman-Gothic church. The dome is crowned by a large bronze statue of the Sacred Heart, created by Josep Miret in 1950. The temple was built to prevent a Protestant church and hotel-casino from being built on the highest point of the city.
