Temple of Leah - The Symbol of Undying Love and Ceaseless Devotion
When a man builds a house for a woman, it means that he is thinking about their future together. But what if a man builds a temple of you as a sign of his love, how do you think a woman will react to that?
This is what Teodorico Adarna did for his wife, he built a Grand Temple to symbolize his undying love for his wife, Leah.
In the year 2012, a temple inspired by Roman and Greek architecture was constructed in the Queen City of the South, Cebu Philippines. It is a 7 story-mansion that has a museum, gallery and a library that is all inspired by the favorite things of Leah.
As you enter the temple, very intricate sculptures will welcome and transport you to a different world. At least, that's how I felt when I was there.

The location of the temple also gives you a birds eye view of the City, perfect for those who are really not into museums. I've seen some who go their just to have a picnic with a view, the museum has a few tables and chairs for this purpose.
The construction was still on going when I went there 2 years ago, I am not sure if they have finished building everything but it was still worth the visit. And hopefully I can come back this year because I really miss this place.

beautiful, but why do they allow people there, is it not a private estate?
Its open for public, but you have to pay $1 to enter the temple. :)
Wow, I didn't know a temple like this exists in Cebu. I might have to revisit Cebu someday! Thanks.
You definitely should go back to Cebu @diabolika. :)

Thank you @miriamslozberg! :)
Wow, that is a heck of a building! Good for him. Maybe someday I can build a couple of these :)
Why not??? But why would you want to have two temples? haha
hmmm... depends on the women i suppose. Just kidding lol This was a grand gesture for sure. i would want to have two buildings like this however not announce them as temples. maybe just summer/winter homes :)
Wish a woman would build me temple lol
don't everyone wish someone would build a temple for them? haha
Beautiful skies around there. Another place on my bucket list :)
Yup, this place is really beautiful. :)
