Capella de Sant Joan Bosco del Temple del Tibidabo

During the restoration of the Tibidabo Temple (1947-1948), Miquel Farré decorated the Chapel of Saint John Bosco with an apse mural dedicated to the Last Supper. The composition, centered on a Eucharistic theme, adapts the apostles into a pyramidal structure fitted to the vault's concavity, converging toward the illuminated figure of Christ. The ensemble is completed with scenes depicting Saint John Bosco, his Marian devotion, and the Salesian foundation.
