The Manti Temple is one of the most attractive temples in Utah and was founded in April 25, 1877. This temple was originally called “Temple Hill”, but then they changed it into The Manti temple. Its construction took a long time, almost 10 years. That’s why the temple was completed in 1888. This temple is one of the thirteen Utah temples and is located in Salina. The Temple has almost 27 acres and was designed in an interesting way. Its style is reflecting influence of Gothic Revival, French Renaissance Revival, French Second Empire and colonial architecture. The Manti Temple is a breathtaking construction, its exterior is a fine-textured, cream-colored oolite limestone obtained from quarries in the hill upon which it is built.
