Temple of Leah, Cebu
Such great love!!!
"I built this temple in 2012 AD as a symbol of undying love for and ceaseless devotion to Leah Albino Adarna, my wife for 53 years.
"I built this temple in 2012 AD as a symbol of undying love for and ceaseless devotion to Leah Albino Adarna, my wife for 53 years.
In honour of her lifetime passion, Leah's collection of antiques, books, special objects and memorabilia amassed from our foreign trips are enshrined and well-preserved inside the 24 chambers of this temple.
To erect this grand edifice, I cut the top of a mountain where it now gracefully rises.
The classic and striking architectural design of this temple took its inspiration from a world heritage site, the Parthenon of Greece - an important monument dedicated to the partron-goddess Athena and admired for more than 2,500 years.
Using advanced construction technology, this temple is buld to withstand the test of time and is hoped to retain its grandeur and beauty in the next 3,000 years."
