The 41-metre tower housing the remains of the Segura family

The Monumento al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús is a monumental tower in the barrio del Monumento in San Juan de Aznalfarache. Constructed in 1945 on Calle Mayor, it was built to house the remains of Cardenal Segura and his brothers. The structure stands 41 metres tall, featuring a white marble statue of Jesus created by the Suárez Corcoles family.

The tower is situated in a semicircular courtyard with a 75-metre diameter. This courtyard features a colonnade that provides access to various buildings, including the Convento de las Salesas, the Colegio de Santa Teresa de Jesús, the Capilla del Perdón, the Casa de Ejercicios, and the Jardín de Betania with its Hospedería. The tower is decorated with scenes including the Crucified, the Coronation, and the Transfiguration.

Beneath the surface lies a subterranean crypt containing a chapel for the widow of Urcola and another for the Sánchez-Dalp family. The Segura family pantheon is finished with pink, grey, and black marble and houses the remains of the parents and siblings of Pedro Segura. The architecture provides a formal entrance to these underground religious and memorial spaces.
