Pearl Temple[a] was a Church of the East church in Yizhou City (modern-day Chengdu) built no later than 756 AD on the ruins of the ancient Shu-era Castle of Seven Treasures[b] (a.k.a. Pearl Castle). It was located on Stalagmite Street[c] outside the west gate of the city. The church was destroyed during the Tang dynasty (618–907). The reason why it was destroyed remains unclear.
