The Most Beautiful Religious Buildings in the World
| November 27, 2017
Salt Lake Temple – Salt Lake City, USA
It’s rare that a religious building affects the daily life of an entire city, but the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) does. The temple, which is the holiest LDS church in existence, is situated in an area known as Temple Square.
All of the streets of Salt Lake City are named according to their proximity to the temple. Only people of the LDS faith can enter the temple, so most tours simply traverse the grounds and explain the symbolism of the building itself.
