historic temples
Old sacred buildings
Historic temples are ancient or historically significant religious structures, typically associated with worship, ritual, or sacred functions in various traditions.
The phrase emphasizes age and cultural importance rather than current religious use: The tour included historic temples throughout Southeast Asia.
Many survive as archaeological sites, tourist destinations, or protected monuments rather than active places of worship.
