Love made Temple of Leah possible as Teodorico Adarna, father of actress Ellen Adarna and owner of Queensland motels, offers the construction of the huge edifice to his wife Leah Villa Albino-Adarna.
“This Temple was constructed in the year 2012 A.D as a symbol of my undying love for her and my ceaseless devotion to Leah Villa Albino-Adarna,” he noted on their FB page.
And because this was made out of love, it doesn’t only welcome visitors with the spectacular view of the city but also with the warmth of the place.

A few months back, the news of a temple being built in Brgy. Busay made a lot of locals excited since there’s not much Roman architecture you can find in Cebu. Because Roman architecture is popular for being so intricate and different, we can’t wait to see what the temple would actually look like from outside to the inside.
Guess what, after a long wait, at last it’s complete.

This new attraction is perfect for those who would want to appreciate the structure while checking out their art gallery and museum. This is also perfect for photoshoots of any kind which is gladly for free as of the time of this writing.

As you approach the temple, you will be in awe of the gigantic gold lions at each side of the stairs leading to the entrance. As you enter the doors of the building, the grand staircase will leave your mouth hanging.
Some of those who have already visited the place described that they feel like they’re in ancient Rome. It would take years of saving for most of us to be able to afford to go to Rome, so visiting this place would perhaps suffice, eh.
