Temple

A temple is a structure reserved for religious or spiritual activities, such as prayer and sacrifice, or analogous rites. A temple constituted a sacred precinct as defined by a priest, and over time became associated with the dwelling places of a god or gods. Despite the specific set of meanings associated with the religion of the ancient Rome, the word has now become quite widely used to describe a house of worship for any number of religions and is even used for time periods prior to the Romans.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, the Smurfs have encountered various types of temples during their time-traveling adventures in The Lost Year, as did Empath and Polaris.
