The Provo City Center Temple[5] is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), built on the site of the former Provo Tabernacle in Provo, Utah. Completed in 2016, the temple uses much of the external shell of the tabernacle that remained from the original building after a fire in December 2010. The intent to build the temple was announced on October 1, 2011, by church president Thomas S. Monson, during the church's general conference. The temple is the second in Provo, was the sixteenth in Utah, [6] and the church's 150th worldwide.[7] This temple has a distinctive exterior with Gothic-inspired stained glass windows.[8] A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on May 12, 2012, conducted by Jeffrey R. Holland.[6]
