Sacred Heart Church

Described by Historic Scotland as "Early Provence-Auvergne Romanesque" this is a little piece of the mediterranean in Torry built by the Italian community. Very unusual stonework outside, the interior is dominated by the broad lantern crossing tower. There is a marble baldacchino, and it was intended that the interior generally would be clad in marble.

The first World War and the Great Depression ensured this did not happen and the interior remained as bare brickwork (see photograph in the church) until the 1970's when it was plastered.
