Every temple has its own unique, beautiful details in its architecture. Check out some of these stunning temple doors and entrances from around the world.

Temples are some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. But they are more than just buildings. President Thomas S. Monson has said, "Temples are more than stone and mortar. They are filled with faith and fasting. They are built of trials and testimonies. They are sanctified by sacrifice and service." Each temple has its own unique design and decorations, crafted to reflect the city they are built in. Here are 10 beautiful temple doors and entrances from temples around the world.
