Fun Facts

The Los Angeles Temple is the second-largest temple operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, covering 13.5 acres and featuring a 257-foot-high spire.

The temple was dedicated on March 11, 1956, by then-President of the Church, David O. McKay, marking a significant moment in the church's history in California.

The temple's design is a blend of modern and traditional styles, featuring a striking combination of Art Deco and classical elements.

While the temple itself is reserved for church members, the beautifully landscaped grounds are open for everyone to enjoy and explore.

Inside the temple, there is a stunning mural depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, created by artist LeConte Stewart.

The temple's visitor center offers interactive exhibits and displays about the history and beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Upon its completion, the temple was the tallest building in Los Angeles, a title it held until the late 1960s.
