Religious Site Tourist Spot Must See

• ©

Although the Salt Lake Temple in the state's capital is more famous, St. George Temple is the first Mormon temple built in Utah after the religious group arrived. The brilliant white-plaster finish on its exterior creates a striking contrast with the surrounding red sandstone buttes that provided much of the building material. Head to the visitor center to discover the story behind the Mormons' journey from Illinois to Utah and the building of this temple. You can also take a free tour of the temple to learn about its three ordinance rooms and 18 sealing rooms. Keep an eye out for the cannon on the temple grounds--Napoleon used it in his attack on Moscow, and the piece traveled through Siberia, Alaska, and California before ending up here.

  Architecture splendide d'un blanc immaculé ! Très propre, jardins très bien entretenus. Pas de visite possible à l'intérieur. On vous passe un film sur les mormons. Film visionnable sur youtube !  more »

  The St George temple is a historic building. It was completed in 1877 and is still used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today. Worthy members can enter the temple. Anyone can enjoy the beautiful, peaceful temple grounds. There is also a visitors center where you can learn more about how members worship inside the temple and about their faith. Definitely a must see in St George. You can see it from I-15 as you drive through town. The white exterior is beautiful with the contrasting red rock of St George.
