Temple of Leah
A Roman-style “Temple of Love” on Busay Hill, built by a merchant in memory of his late wife, with views over all of Cebu City between its colonnades and statues.
The Temple of Leah was begun in 2012 by Cebu merchant Teodorico Adarna in memory of his late wife, Leah Adarna, and is known as “the Taj Mahal of Cebu.” Modeled on ancient Greek and Roman temples, it features massive columns, bronze lion statues and a bronze statue of Leah. Some areas inside are still under construction. Admission is about ₱100. Watching the sunset and the city lights in the evening is the most popular experience. The temple is in the Busay hills, about 30–40 minutes by car from downtown. The mountain road is steep, so it is best to hire a car or take a tricycle up.
