Temple of Leah Queen of the South

Temple of Leah, it’s been almost 2 years since the update of this site and we would like to say thank you to all our readers and followers to stay with us. After almost 2 years that we missed travel we finally came back on the road but this time we are 3, yes together with our little one ELI.

Lets Go

Our first travel as a family is to the Queen of the South where we visited the new tourist attraction of Cebu, the Temple of Leah the majestic Roman-inspired architectural design. In the past few months, this temple made a noise after model/actress Ellen Adarna post a picture on her Instagram about the beautiful place. From that pictures, people became curious and even me. So I put this tourist attraction on our list. So the time has come, we finally visit Cebu then the Temple of Leah is the priority to go.

Temple of Leah was constructed last 2012 by Teodorico Adarna as a symbol of his undying love for her wife and his ceaseless devotion to Leah Villa Albino-Adarna and he is the grandfather of actress Ellen Adarna. Just like the famous Taj Mahal of India, is a work of art built as a symbol of a man’s undying love for his wife.

According to Ellen Adarna

People have been visiting my grandmother’s museum. My grandfather, father and brother built and designed this for her. (She loves Greek mythology) stuff. She told us we can’t sell her collections or else she’ll come back and haunt us. So instead we placed it all there. Miss you, wa. Always and forever

Temple of Leah is located atop the mountains of Busay, Cebu City. The travel time from Cebu City to this popular tourist attraction is approximately 30-45 minutes.

How to go to the Temple of Leah

The temple is situated atop the mountains of Barangay. Busay, Cebu City just a few meters past the Mountainview Resort and Lantaw Native Restaurant.

Commuters can ride a motorcycle (habal-habal from JY Square Mall) preferably than a taxi because of the steep and winding road. It will cost you 75Php one-way per person and around 10 minutes of travel time.

The good news is that the Temple of Leah has provided a shuttle service from Jollibee, I.T. Park to the temple, and vice versa.
