It is a work from the most expressionist period in Eusa, characterized by the combination of white concrete and red brick, a style that has been defined as déco-expressionism or geometric expressionism.[1]
The feature that stands out in the church is the large geometric tower that narrows as it ascends on the main façade. A sculpture of Christ is above the tower. The use of sculpture in the architecture of Víctor Eusa is common, but, as in this case, they are not human figures with human postures, rather figures of static men or women, geometric like the building itself.[2]
