The Porch of Temple Church: A Glimpse into Medieval History in Central London This photograph, taken circa 1920s, showcases the enchanting Porch of Temple Church located in the heart of London. Nestled in the Temple area, a historic district known for its rich history and connections to the legal profession, the church stands as a testament to the city's intriguing past. The Porch, with its round, circular design, serves as the entrance to the Temple Church. The archway, adorned with intricate carvings and detailed railings, invites visitors to step back in time and explore the history hidden within its walls. The Templar crosses, symbols of the Knights Templar, are prominently displayed on the railings, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The Temple Church, originally built in the late 12th century, is a unique and fascinating blend of round and Gothic architectural styles. It was rebuilt in the 16th century after a fire destroyed the original structure. The circular design of the church, inspired by the Round Church in Jerusalem, is a rare find in England and adds to its allure. The Porch, with its stunning architecture and historical significance, has stood the test of time and continues to be a popular attraction for visitors to London. A stroll through the Temple area, taking in the beauty of the Porch and the Temple Church, is a must for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply wanting to experience the charm of London's past.
