The Grand Temple, told simply
A sanctum of quiet light and echoing bells, carved from a single mountain over three centuries.
Every stone was polished by hand; the acoustics let a whisper travel a hundred metres.
On the winter solstice, sunlight enters through a single hole and lights the entire hall.
