Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón (Capuchinos)
Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús de los Capuchinos
A neo-Gothic church with towers, one pointed and one unfinished, and sculptures of people 'carrying' the columns on its façade with a profound meaning.
The Capuchin Church was built between 1926 and 1934 and is the most distinctive neo-Gothic building in Córdoba. Its two bell towers differ in height, and the shorter one was intentionally left without a spire to symbolize human imperfection. On the façade, a row of figures bent over and carrying the columns on their backs represents people who bear the weight of sin. Inside, the stained glass windows and soaring vaulted ceilings are beautiful. Admission is free. The church is located in the New Córdoba district and can be reached on foot from the Paseo del Buen Pastor and the Evita Art Museum.
