Nothing can replace that exceptional feeling of being somewhere so special and exceptional....♥
When I came to know that this temple existed and saw its picture on the web, I cannot withstand the look, nor could I, with second thought visit the place. I was instantly captured by its Roman-inspired architectural design which is beyond ordinary and wanting myself to see those impressive carvings personally.
Temple of Leah, the newest tourist attraction in Cebu offers a variety of an Ancient Rome - an art gallery and museum inspired with Roman designs. The temple was constructed in the year 2012 as a symbol of an undying love of Teodorico Adarna, owner of the Queensland motels, to his wife Leah Villa Albino-Adarna (this completely explains why the temple was named such).
