Chiesa del Sacro Cuore di Gesù

The Parish Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the main place of worship of Cortoghiana, a fraction of Carbonia born in the context of the mining development of Sulcis. The Parish Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is part of an essential urban environment, strongly linked to the working history of the territory and to the growth of the communities around extractive activity.
The parish represents a central point of reference not only religious, but also social, accompanying the daily life of the inhabitants with pastoral activities and moments of aggregation. Its identity is closely linked to the history of the village, where the church becomes a place of cohesion and collective memory. The liturgical celebrations and religious celebrations take part in a value, helping to keep alive the community tradition in a context deeply marked by the mining past.
