se pudo dimensionar la obra arquitectónica y convertirse en una postal obligada para el visitante. Templo ExpiatorioDe estilo neogótico, con más de 20 altares y vitrales franqueando la nave principal, el Templo Expiatorio - pródigo en cantera y mármol - impresiona por el contraste entre la luminosidad y el recogimiento. Uno de sus principales atractivos son las catacumbas, divididas en siete criptas y donde reposan los restos de casi 2 mil fieles católicos. Las monumentales puertas de la fachada son de bronce y están forradas con hojas del mismo metal esculpidas en sobre relieve. La correspondiente al lado izquierdo, ilustra la creación del ser humano y la expulsión de Adán y Eva del paraíso terrenal. En las puertas del centro, entre otros detalles, se muestran la crucifixión, la resurrección y la última cena de Cristo. En la puerta derecha de la fachada se alude al descenso del Espíritu Santo sobre la Virgen María y los Apóstoles. Al fondo está la Capilla del Tepeyac y funciona una sobria casa de ejercicios con una capilla dedicada a la Madre Santísima de la Luz. Cabe resaltar que desde un inicio la obra se ha costeado exclusivamente con limosnas y cada pieza de cantera se ha cortado y tallado en sus propios talleres.
construction of the Sanctuary Expiatory Diocesan of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was laid. Since then, its construction became intermittent. For decades there was a popular saying that by the time the temple was finished, the world would end. In 2013, the brickwork was completed. However, it lacked details on its façade and towers. It was amid old houses and only became fully visible with the recent construction of the neighboring square.
Templo ExpiatorioNeo-Gothic, with catacombs, over 20 altars and stained glass windows, this expiatory temple stands out for its contrast between light and retrospection. Its left carved in relief bronze doors illustrates the creation of man and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. The central door show the Last Supper, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. The right door refers to the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Mary and the Apostles. The temple's construction was funded entirely by alms and each limestone piece was cut and carved in its own workshops.
