Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10-acre Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Salt Lake Temple is the fourth completed (of more than 100) and best-known temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, the temple site was dedicated on February 14, 1853. Groundbreaking ceremonies were presided by Brigham Young, the church's president and prophet, who laid the cornerstone; construction officially began on April 6 of that year. Oxen transported granite from Little Cottonwood Canyon twenty miles southeast of the temple site. When construction was finally completed, LDS President Wilford Woodruff dedicated the temple on April 6, 1893, after exactly forty years. The Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10-acre Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. As the most important temple to the Latter-day Saints, this House of the Lord contains a Most Holy Place, and is the site where the church's prophets and Apostles meet.
