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.

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.

Virupaksha Temple is located in Hampi 350 km from Bangalore, in the state of Karnataka in southern India. It is part of the Group of Monuments at Hampi, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Virupaksha is a form of Shiva and has other temples dedicated to him, notably at the Group of Monuments at Pattadakal, another World Heritage Site.
Hampi sits on the banks of the Tungabhadra River in the ruins of the ancient city of Vijayanagar, capital of the Vijayanagara empire. Virupaksha Temple is the main center of pilgrimage at Hampi and has been considered the most sacred sanctuary over the centuries. It is fully intact among the surrounding ruins and is still used in worship. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, known here as Virupaksha, as the consort of the local goddess Pampa who is associated with the Tungabhadra River. The temple's history is uninterrupted from about the 7th century. What started as a small shrine grew into a large complex under the Vijayanagara rulers in the 14th century.

Arguably better preserved than its more famous Athenian neighbour, the Parthenon, the Temple of Hephaestus is an extremely impressive ancient Greek temple and one of the best Greek temples of the world. Located in the Athenian Agora, it was the site of worship of the Greek deity of fire, blacksmiths and sculpture. Built in the fifth century BC, the Temple of Hephaestus was later incorporated into the Church of Agios Georgios, this accounting for its excellent state of preservation.
One thing I found fascinating is that the fluted columns are segmented and also tapered top to bottom which makes building immensely more difficult.

Nishi Honganji Temple (Kyoto City).
I was caught in a snowstorm while sightseeing in Arashiyama District. On the following morning, I found it was still snowing in the center of Kyoto City. The falling snow melted as soon as it fell on the ground, whereas hedges and tiled roofs were lightly covered in snow. It would melt in a short time. I hit on the idea that snow would stay longer in higher elevation. I changed my itinerary and headed to a certain temple.

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).
