Rock temples (or speos) are temples carved from solid rock.
Rock temples are often found in Egypt and western India, such as those at Ellora and Elephanta.
Famous quotes containing the word temple:
“Lord, how can man preach thy eternall word?
He is a brittle crazie glasse:
Yet in thy temple thou dost him afford
This glorious and transcendent place,
To be a window, through thy grace.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
