The Lisbon Portugal Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in the civil parish of Parque das Nações, in the Portuguese municipality of Lisboa.[3] It is the first and only LDS temple constructed in Portugal.[4]
History
The intent to construct a temple in the Portuguese capital was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on 2 October 2010, during the church's semi-annual general conference.
On 22 October 2015 the church announced that the temple would be constructed in the Parque das Nações area of Lisbon, along Avenida Dom João II. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, took place on 5 December 2015, with Patrick Kearon presiding.[5] The groundbreaking was broadcast live to local church meetinghouses.[5]
On 4 March 2019 the church announced a public open house to be held from 17 to 31 August 2019, excluding Sundays.[6] On 29 August 2019 Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the president of the Portuguese Republic, visited the temple's open house.[7]
The temple was dedicated on 15 September 2019 by Neil L. Andersen.[8]
In 2020, like all the church's other temples, the Lisbon Portugal Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[9]
