When you visit this Temple of Leah in Cebu City, the sky view, mountain view, and the place feels like were in a palace. Its very classy to look at, plus the cool weather = TOTAL PACKAGE <3
As a symbol of love and unceasing devotion to his wife, Teodorico Adarna thought of building an architectural edifice for his wife, Leah.
The Temple is the latest addition to the list of “must see” sights in Cebu; among them are the Taoist Temple, Sirao Flower Farm, TOPS Skyline Garden, Lantaw Native Restaurant, and the Bagacay Lighthouse.
What makes the temple unique is its architectural design, which has a great resemblance to the ancient Greek architectural styles that are famous for its temples.
Resembling the ancient pantheons of Greece, Teodorico had the palace built like a Greek temple with gigantic lions on each side of the stairways leading to the doorstep. The staircase itself draws attention with its brass angels where a 9-ft. A bronze statue of Queen Leah awaits. Underneath her throne is a verbatim of her husband’s words of describing her. Gigantic statues of golden lions stand as guards on the side of the doorstep. At the same time, the temple holds an art gallery, a museum, and a library where Leah’s favorite things are displayed.(https://www.southpolecentralhotel.com/temple-of-leah/)
