Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón stands on Plaza de Menéndez Pelayo in central Melilla, within the city’s historic urban extension beyond the old fortified quarter. The Roman Catholic church provides a monumental counterpoint to the surrounding Modernist streetscape, with a symmetrical, pale-stone façade, paired bell towers, arched portals and a prominent rose window. From the square, the frontal view emphasizes its balanced geometry and vertical scale, while palms, street life and nearby ornamented façades place the building firmly in Melilla’s distinctive blend of Spanish urban design and North African setting.
