Are you trying to find a tourist spot in Cebu? Or a historical place like one-of-a-kind?
Greetings, Hivers! Welcome back to my blog, where I'll be showing you more historical tourist attractions like "The Temple of Leah" in Cebu City. For sure, you will undoubtedly be astounded by their appearance.
By the way Cebu City, sometimes referred to as Cebu, is the oldest city in the Philippines and is located in the Visayas region. The "Queen City of the South" is a common nickname for it. And Cebu is one of the business hub of the Philippines.
THE STORY about THE TEMPLE OF LEAH
Teodorico Soriano Adarna's tribute to his late wife Leah Albino-Adarna, his life partner for 53 years, is called “Temple of Leah”. They are the great-grandparents of Cebu-based motel chain owner Queensland and Filipina actress Ellen Adarna. The entire building is a husband's 53-year-old wife's devotion to love.
THE TRAVEL and MY EXPERIENCE
It is therefore rather far from the city but well worth it. From JY Square, Cebu City, the journey up the mountain is fantastic and takes around 15 minutes. (When a motorcycle) You can also rent a taxi cab but it’s much expensive.
You will undoubtedly be astounded by both the outside and the inside upon arrival. Outside the temple, the sizable plaza is already instagrammable.
I really adore the location. It is unquestionably a must-see in Cebu City! Amazing building that will give you a sense of Europe, the well-known mythology of the Greeks and Romans can be found here. It appears to be the Greek Gods and Goddesses' residence in my opinion.
This, is a highly recommended because of the breathtaking views. The views of the old church and the Cebu City skyline from the main patio and the arched temple area are both magnificent, as is the architecture. If you're visiting Cebu, this destination should definitely be on your bucket list!
If you own a drone, you can capture fresh images and shoot shots from various perspectives.
In addition, there are relics and further Roman-inspired designs inside the temple. Including there are 24 chambers inside, erected on opposing wings, with a museum, an art gallery, and a library filled with all of Leah's favorite and personal items like books, vases, Buddha heads, and other sculptures, ceramic statues, and trinkets acquired during the couple's numerous travels.
And also don’t forget to look around and underneath the temple as there are some extremely nice-looking locations, particularly the soldier one. Haha
I've been here a few times already, and I'm hoping my next trip here will see even more advancements. It is also obvious that the temple is not yet done in its whole, and I would love to return when it is.
FEES:
100 per person for entrance
50 for parking
Queen City of the South is truly amazing!
