Temple Square
Temple Square is the heart of Salt Lake City and the symbolic center of the Mormon religion. The complex covers 10 acres and includes the Mormon Temple, the Assembly Hall and the Tabernacle. The site is the city’s biggest draw and looms large in the city’s skyline. The Temple is the jewel of the complex; it took 40 years and millions of dollars to build and was finally completed in 1893. Only Mormon practitioners can enter the temple, but non-believers can learn about the temple’s activities at visitor centers. The famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearses weekly here. Attend the organ recitals for free and experience the building’s wonderful acoustics. The site has two visitor centers with exhibits about the Mormon religion and photographs of the temple’s interior.
