This beautiful piece of modern architecture was recently finished by Vicens + Ramos architect bureau. The church graces a new and largely undeveloped residential area in Cordoba, Spain.

The building's innovative structure is comprised of a single prism and a tall short facade. The facade is combined with the bell-tower and skylight - the components that are usually separated in historical church architecture. The prism, made from white concrete, has a fluted base able to let in horizontal light.

The interior of the church is minimal and unembelished. It is designed to accentuate the focal points of the composition, namely the altar area and the roof paintings. The light, coming from the skylight and skillfully directed by the curved shape of the ceiling, completes and unifies the space.
