Mountain temples around the globe (18 Photos)

1st

Want so bad!

#6 Looks like the Gerudo Fortress from Ocarina. Well I'm a nerd…

Yeah well, my apartment has it's own washer and dryer.

It is quite remarkable to think about the labor that went into creating these architectural wonders.
Are they warm in the winter? Electricity, dozens of fireplaces? Coal?
I can only imagine what the winter winds must be like in some of these places.

I thought for sure that Pueblo, Colorado would be up here, those things are badass.

its 45 degrees and i am freezing i am a pussy

Lots of time and dedication went into building those structures. Beautiful works of art made by hand.

i couldnt help but think zombie hideouts

mountain temples are for lazy people who cant be arsed to build a whole building

You forgot Minas Tirith. Not real but still cool

Where's the meteora in Greece?

You forgot Manastir Ostrog in Montenegro !!!

Petra (Jordan) is not a monastery but ruins of an extinct civilization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra

What about Machu Picchu?

#15 & #16 is a lost as some have speculated abandoned city. I've always found this beautiful and would love to visit someday. Chive should do a post on lost cities of the world. Pretty fascinating stuff.

probly wont work, only got mouth herps to wurry bout

Montserrat in Spain is quite an amazing place too, being there is unreal. Religious or not these structures are amazing accomplishments

How about Ostrog, Montenegro?

OK, Greece, you win.

Where is the Western Air Temple?

#16 – hey, indiana jones and the last crusade?

when i read the title, i honestly thought it was gonna be boobs

#15 and #16 are the treasury building in Petra. It's not a monastery.

I was kinda pissed when the Temple of the Moon on Huayna Picchu (near Machu Picchu) in Peru didn't get mentioned…so beautiful
