About The Expiatory Temple
Dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, its construction lasted more than 90 years beginning in 1921. With a neo-Gothic architecture, it is one of the largest representations of this style in the country. Its multiple stained glass windows, altars and catacombs are worth visiting. As a curious fact, his bell of more than two tons is not used to call mass and his granite floor was brought from Brazil.
