Temple Square

The downtown square of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, home of the Salt Lake Temple.

Temple Square, in downtown Salt Lake City, is a downtown square of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints centered on the Salt Lake Temple. Visitors can see the grounds, exhibits, historic buildings and scheduled music performances.
