Recientemente llegué más temprano de lo usual al edificio donde trabajo, y una corta fila de niños y adolescentes uniformados llamó mi atención. Y es que a escasos 170 metros, entre los altos y viejos edificios de la rambla, hay una escuela, se trata del Colegio Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, en catalán, Col·legi Sagrat Cor - Esclaves, bajo la dirección de una congregación religiosa católica de igual nombre, fundada en 1877 por Santa Rafaela María Porras y su hermana Pilar, y donde imparten una formación de espiritualidad ignaciana. Suspiré de imaginar los detalles de cada aula, lo impecable de cada espacio y la laboriosa actividad de cada día. Y es que quienes somos educadores, de vocación y servicio, suspiramos ante cualquier cuidadoso templo del saber. ... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I recently arrived earlier than usual at the building where I work, and a short line of uniformed children and teenagers caught my eye. And it is that just 170 meters away, between the tall and old buildings of the rambla, there is a school, it's the "Slaves of the Sacred Heart of Jesus School" (in Spanish: Escuela Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús; in Catalan, Col·legi Sagrat Cor - Esclaves), under the direction of a congregation Catholic religious of the same name, founded in 1877 by Santa Rafaela María Porras and her sister Pilar, and where they teach Ignatian spirituality. I sighed to imagine the details of each classroom, the impeccable nature of each space and the laborious activity of each day. And it's that those of us who are educators, of vocation and service, sigh before any careful temple of knowledge. ... ⠀⠀ #arquitectura #architecture #edificio #building #colegio #escuela #school #esclavasdelsagradoCorazóndeJesús #CollegiSagratCorEsclaves #educacion #education #rambladecatalunya #ciudadcondal #bcn #barcelona #cataluña #catalunya #españa #spain ⠀⠀⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkdOgyl5gk/?igshid=13bm53p5c5sxm

    Temple de Sagrat Cor/Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

      The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor (Catalan pronunciation: [səˈɣɾat ˈkɔɾ]; English: Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Spanish: Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús) is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica located on the summit of Mount Tibidabo in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The building is the work of the Spanish architect Enric Sagnier and was completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal. The construction of the church, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, lasted from 1902 to 1961.

     The idea of building a Catholic church on the summit of the Mount Tibidabo emerged in the late 19th century amidst rumors about the construction of a Protestant church and a hotel-casino at that location. This motivated a "Board of Catholic Knights" to acquire the ownership of the field and give it to Saint John Bosco in 1886, when he was visiting Barcelona at the invitation of Dorotea de Chopitea, a great patron and promoter of the project. From this arose the idea of a building dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a dedication very popular at that time thanks to the impetus given by Pope Leo XIII, and following in line with the church built in Rome by Bosco himself (Sacro Cuore di Gesù a Castro Pretorio) and the famous Sacré-Cœur in Paris.

In 1886 a neo-Gothic hermitage was built, and two years later, for the Universal Exposition, the Vallvidrera road was urbanized and a pavilion of Mudejar inspiration was built beside the hermitage to serve as a viewing point (for the city below). However, the project to build the church suffered a significant delay mainly because of the development of a new project to build an astronomical observatory on the summit of Tibidabo, which was eventually constructed on a nearby hill (Fabra Observatory). Finally, on 28 December 1902, the first stone was placed in a ceremony presided by the Bishop of Barcelona, Salvador Casañas i Pagès.

     The crypt was built between 1903 and 1911, and the main church was built between 1915 and 1951. The church was consecrated by Bishop Gregorio Modrego Casaus during the 35th Eucharistic Congress held in Barcelona in 1952. The towers were completed afterward, with work officially ending in 1961. On 29 October 1961 the church received the title of minor basilica from Pope John XXIII.

     The external appearance of the church is of a Romanesque fortress of stone from Montjuïc (the crypt), topped by a monumental neo-Gothic church accessed by two grand outdoor stairways. The upper church has a central floor with an octagonal dome on eight columns. The dome is crowned with an image of the Sacred Heart; the original work was by Frederic Marès(destroyed in 1936) and replaced in 1950 with another by Josep Miret.

   The upper church is square with three apses, a large central tower, and four lower towers marking the four corners of the square, and statues of the Twelve Apostles sculpted by Josep Miret. The main facade has three sections, the central wider, chaired by the figure of the Archangel Michael in the arch of the main entrance, and John Bosco in the pediment above. Over the left door is the statue of Teresa of Ávila and over the right, Marguerite Marie Alacoque. Above the door is an open gallery of arches with tracery.

   The façade of the crypt has a richly decorated tympanum with sculptures by Alfons Juyol i Bach following the design of Eusebi Arnau. The sculptures represent the Virgin of Mercy, Saint George, and Saint James, the patron saints of Barcelona, Catalonia, and Spain, respectively. The crypt facade consists of three semicircular arches on columns, inserted under a larger semicircular arch, originally decorated with a mosaic of the Holy Trinity by Daniel Zuloaga (destroyed in 1936). In 1955 it was redecorated by the Bru Workshop of Barcelona; the work depicts an allegory of the devotion of Spain, represented by its patron saints.

    The interior is divided into a nave and two aisles with semicircular apses, with stained glasses and four rose windows on the facades. In the main altar stands the great crucifix, a work by Joan Puigdollers. The windows of the presbytery are dedicated to Pius X, John the Evangelist, Marguerite Marie Alacoque, Paul the Apostle and John Bosco. The left altar has five stained glasses dedicated to various Marian devotions: the Virgin of Antipolo (Philippines), Our Lady of Luján(Argentina), the Assumption of Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexico) and Our Lady of Charity (Cuba). The right altar is presided by the Risen Jesus, a work by Joan Puigdollers, and its stained glasses are dedicated to Spanish Marian devotions: the Virgin of Almudena (Madrid), the Virgin of Núria (Catalonia), Our Lady of Hope, Our Lady of the Forsaken (Valencia) and Our Lady of Begoña (Basque Country).

The windows of the four towers contain the Latin phrase tibi dabo ("I'll give you"), the name of the mountain. At the level of the choir include founding saints: Marcellin Champagnat and Jean-Baptiste de La Salle on both sides of the presbytery, and Anthony Mary Claret, Joseph Calasanctius, John Bosco and Maria Domenica Mazzarello next to the main facade. The windows of the four facades are dedicated to Francis de Sales, Pius XI, Ignatius of Loyola, Francisco Javier, Pius IX, Rose of Lima, Leo XIII and Pius XII. The eight stained glasses of the dome depict scenes from the life of Jesus.

Miss Rigby, Miss Garcia, Mrs Deaville, and Mr Tyrie accompanied 26 Modern Foreign Language students to beautiful Barcelona, Spain.

This trip was the perfect opportunity for our students to learn the Spanish language and experience Spanish culture, in one of the biggest and most beautiful cities in Spain.

Day One

After stepping off the plane and into sunshine, the students walked down the tree-lined promenade Las Ramblas to Port Vell. Kiosks selling flowers, newspapers and souvenirs lined the street, along with performers, and pavement cafes. Its watercourse origins were reflected in the paving design, that appeared to ripple like water.

The students ended their first day with the colourful Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. Situated below the Palau Nacional on the Montjuïc mountain; the fountain was designed by Carles Buïgas and constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. A music and light show accompanied the fountain as it sprayed 700 gallons of water a second through 3620 jets to create an unforgettable performance.

Day Two

The next day saw the students climb Tibidabo mountain, overlooking Barcelona, and visit iconic Tibidabo Amusement Park, and Sagrat Cor church. This church was designed by Enric Sagnier, and took 60 years to build. It��s topped by the Sacred Heart of Jesus sculpture by Josep Miret Llopart.

Their second stop was world heritage site, Park Güell, a public park composed of gardens and architectonic elements. The park was designed by Antoni Gaudí, a renowned architect, whose style was inspired by organic shapes and analysis of geometry.

Park Güell is full of symbolism, as Gaudí was trying to synthesise many political and religious ideals. Students spotted concepts originating from Catalanism, Catholicism, and greek mythology.

Day Three

Day three was a bit more relaxed and started with a visit to the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, a Roman Catholic church designed by Antoni Gaudí.

Construction of the Sagrada Família started in 1882, and is due to be completed by 2026 – the centenary of Gaudí’s death. The building combines Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms to create a breathtaking engineering and artistic wonder.

After enjoying the peace of the monumental Sagrada Família, our students had a relaxing trip to Barcelona Zoo and one of Barcelona’s sunny beaches, where they received news of snow back home.

Day Four

On the last day of their fun-filled trip, the group rode the cable car up to Montjuïc Castle, an old 1640’s military fortress. On the way down they visited Anella Olímpica, the Olympic Park built for the 1992 Summer Olympics, and picturesque Plaza de España.

Unfortunately, the flight back home was delayed, but our students were offered the opportunity to see the cockpit, speak to the pilots, and find out how the aircraft worked.
