Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón

The Sagrado Corazón church stands in the Plaza de San Ignacio de Loyola in the historic centre of Málaga, Spain.

It is a neo-Gothic building constructed in 1920, according to the design drawn up in January 1907 by the architect Fernando Guerrero Strachan, commissioned by the Jesuits.

It has a basilica plan, divided into three naves and covered by a ribbed vault. The transept, which has an octagonal plan and a star vault, stands out. The choir is located at the foot of the central nave, which is taller and wider than the side naves. In it is the tomb of the Blessed Tiburcio Arnaiz.

The square where it is located lies to the west of Calle Compañía, near the Palacio de Villalón building, home to the Museo Carmen Thyssen.

The church served as the seat of the Archicofradía de los Dolores de San Juan while its original location, the Iglesia de San Juan, was being restored. Today, the titular images of the Hermandad de la Clemencia are venerated here following the closure of the Sagrario.

Inside, visitors can see the painted work of Apolo Párkinson Molinari, the painter of the Gothic-style stained-glass windows that surround the church.
