Majestic place with a majestic view. The temple of Leah is situated in the upland parts of cebu which is only a few minutes drive from the city center. it boast an architecture similar to the parthenon in Greece.
Little bit awkward attracting which is not an „temple“ but rather a display of a rich guys tenures and devotion to his wife. Quite hard to reach and not really worth the struggle to get there plus the entrance fee. Three points because of the nice view from there.
very pretty and I love the story behind the templeit was a bit rainy the day we went
