The monumental Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is located in the center of Zagreb, on Palmotićeva Street. The basilica is the second largest church in Zagreb, after Zagreb Cathedral. The protected cultural monument was built in 1902 in neo-baroque style and unfortunately suffered severe damage during the devastating earthquakes in March and December 2020. On March 22, 2020, the basilica was significantly damaged in an earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale, and new damage occurred after the earthquake of December 29, 2020, when the basilica's ceiling was damaged even more. Part of the ceiling collapsed and damaged the edge of the choir, and the rest of the ceiling remained unstable. In 2022, a comprehensive renovation of the basilica began.

Interkonzalting is responsible for creating project-technical documentation for the implementation of measures to protect the cultural heritage damaged by the earthquake- the Church of the Heart of Jesus complex with the monastery of the Order of the Society of Jesus, and for the supervision of the execution of works for the implementation of protective measures for the Basilica of the Heart of Jesus.
