Looking for the next tourist attraction in Cebu? This “Greek/Roman” temple sitting atop Busay is not yet fully complete, but a lot of people are already visiting for its “instagrammability” and that overlooking view of the Queen City.

This temple is a man’s tribute to his late wife, very much similar to how India’s Taj Mahal was built.

This is Leah Adarna – so well loved by her husband and family that they had to build this huge temple so that her legacy lives on.  I will leave you to visit and learn more about their love story which led to the creation of this magnificent temple.

This place is basically Cebu’s version of Greece’s Parthenon, except that it isn’t really a religious temple. You will however find sculptures or statues of Greek/Roman gods in the area.

And, equally stunning is the view of the cities of Cebu, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu (and even the islands of Olango and Bohol during clear days).

The place can get crowded so I suggest you avoid the weekends, and visit on weekdays instead. The temple is still undergoing construction and finishing touches, but you can get in for 50 pesos per person. Not bad a price for a “close to Greece/Rome” experience!

Temple of Leah is in Busay. It’s on the same street as Mountain View and Lantaw Busay (go past both of those). For more information, you can visit their Facebook page here.
