Provo City Center Temple and Wasatch Mountains - Utah

The Provo City Center Temple, located in Provo, Utah, is a stunning example of historic preservation and religious significance. Originally built as the Provo Tabernacle in the late 19th century, the structure was severely damaged by a fire in 2010. Rather than demolish the remains, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced plans to restore and transform the building into a temple. Completed in 2016, the temple retains much of the original architecture, blending Gothic and Romanesque Revival styles with modern design elements. Its soaring spires, stained glass windows, and meticulously landscaped grounds make it a cherished landmark. The Provo City Center Temple serves as a place of worship, reflection, and community for Latter-day Saints, symbolizing renewal and faith.
