The Temple of Asclepius built at the little lake there in the park of Villa Borghese, Rome. The temple building itself is late 18th century (built 1785-1792), but it was built as a home for some ancient sculptures. The statue of Asclepius himself is thought to have come from the Mausoleum of Augustus, and the other, smaller pieces are of Hellenistic date and style.
Wikipedia: Wat Rong Khun (Thai: วัดร่องขุ่น), better known as the White Temple, is a privately owned art exhibit in the style of a Buddhist temple in Pa O Don Chai, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. It is owned by Chalermchai Kositpipat, who designed, constructed, and opened it to visitors in 1997.
By the end of the 20th century, the original Wat Rong Khun was in a bad state of repair. Funds were not available for renovation. Chalermchai Kositpipat, a local artist from Chiang Rai, decided to completely rebuild the temple and fund the project with his own money. To date, Chalermchai has spent THB 1,080 million on the project. The artist intends for the area adjacent to the temple to be a center of learning and meditation and for people to gain benefit from the Buddhist teachings. Kositpipat considers the temple to be an offering to Lord Buddha and believes the project will give him immortal life. Today the works are ongoing, but are not expected to be completed until 2070.

The Ankokuden temple at Zōjō-ji. In this building the black image of Amida Buddha is kept - though it is shown to the public just three times a year (this is also the place where you can buy amulets and other trinkets from the monks).
Zōjō-ji was founded by Yūyo Shōsō in the 14th century - at another place but it was moved here in 1590 and during the Edo period it was one of the two family temples of the Tokugawa family (the other being Kan'ei-ji). The area was badly damaged in the second world war and the present hall was built in 1974 featuring both classical architecture and more modern elements. The temple is the main temple of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū Buddhism.

The name of the place (Yushima Seidō - 湯島聖堂 with Japanese kanji) actually just means 'the sacred hall in Yushima'. It was built in this spot in 1690 (there was an earlier temple, founded in 1639, built in what is now Ueno Park, but the shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi moved it here). The temple was closely associated with the Shōhei-zaka Gakumonjo school of Neo-Confucianism, state-run from 1797 to the Meiji restoration of 1871. After 1871 the temple has shared its grounds with several educational institutions (and the Ministry of Education, and the Tokyo National Museum) - currently you can find parts of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in the vicinity, and the school's emblem of a plum blossom is said to derive from the temple. Students praying for success in their exams come to visit here.
The temple itself is now made of concrete - the original was built in wood, but destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 (just a year after the temple had been designated a national historical site). The current building dates to 1935, and was designed by Itō Chūta (伊東忠太, 1867-1954, architect and architectural historian and theorist).

Well, shrine cat, really. Temple sounds nicer. She paused for several moments like this in front of the food bowl tucked behind the wooden pillar, as if savoring the tantalizing moment before devouring what it contained.
The Khajuraho Group of Monuments is a group of Hindu and Jain temples in Madhya Pradesh, India, about 175 kilometres (109 mi) southeast of Jhansi. They are one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India. The temples are famous for their nagara-style architectural symbolism and their erotic sculptures.

The Sri Mariamman Temple is Singapore's oldest Hindu temple.
It is built in the South Indian architecture| style.
Due to its architectural and historical significance, the temple has been gazetted as a National Monument. Historically, the temple was the registry of Hindu marriages. At that time, only the priest of the Sri Mariamman Temple was authorized to solemnize Hindu marriages in Singapore.
The Temples of the Sun and the Moon are located in Cathedral Valley in Capitol Reef National Park. These two sandstone monoliths rise almost 300 feet from the valley floor. The Temple of the Sun is actually slightly larger than the Temple of the Moon which is closer. Our trusty red truck which brought us to this remote location is at the base of the Temple of the Moon.
Happy Truck Thursday!
