55 year old Igreja do Sagrado Coração de Jesus in Lisbon is the perfect example of a church that represents the true spirit of Christianity. Its presence blends in quietly on the surrounding quarter, where the concrete walls and the light apertures represent a minimal yet monumental metaphor of the connection between the mundane and the transcendent.
