Vistabella Church – Josep Maria Jujol
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Vistabella is one of Josep Maria Jujol’smost singular works. Built between 1917 and 1923 from the humblest materials—brick, mortar, stone—the church unfolds into an interior of extraordinary spatial invention: warped columns, undulating arches, and fluid vaults that create a mystical, almost surreal atmosphere characteristic of Jujol’s imagination. Because the building has remained in continuous use as a Catholic temple, the restoration follows a minimal, careful approach, preserving the integrity and idiosyncrasy of Jujol’s architecture while ensuring its continued life.
