Salt Lake City is the spiritual center of the Mormons and capital of Utah State. It is situated in a high valley of the Jordan River, once an unfriendly system of the country between the bumpy summits of the Wasatch Range, the Great Salt Lake Desert to the west and the Great Salt Lake to the northwest.

Within its City boundaries, Salt Lake contains a wide range of fascinations, varying from state-of-the-art exhibits and museums to professional sports locations and art galleries to visiting. Salt Lake City is known for its place in Mormonism–one of the unique and strange of all modern faiths. Many of the area’s best attractions lie in the nearby desert, mountains; come in summer and discover the Bonneville Salt Apartments, the Great Salt Lake, and the tremendous Wasatch pathway network.

Temple Square is the sacred place of the Mormons. On this ten acres square, with flowerbeds and plants, are the Mormon Tabernacle, the Mormon Temple, the Temple Annex, several monuments, and IT centers which supply information on the historical past and the doctrines of the Mormon trust.

Mormon Temple

The Mormon Temple was built from 1853 to 1893. At each end of this huge marble structure is three towers, at the eastern end, holds the 13-feet high gilded angel Moroni’s figure. The temple probably joined by Mormons.

State Capitol

Capitol Mountain, at the north end of State Street, which rises to almost 300 feet height above the city, is The State of Utah Capitol. This Neo-Classical domed building homes, Senate, and Supreme Court of The State of Utah and the House of Representative. It has a particularly great interior, with its golden room, marble rotunda, and a small gallery with changing displays. Capitol Mountain is situated northeast of Temple Square at the end of State Street. Many of the city’s attractions are situated here, such as the Marmalade Historic District.

The Tabernacle is a huge square developing with a dome located on 44 sandstone piers. The clean interior, with sitting for over 6500 people, is recognized for its great acoustics. At the west end is the collection for the recognized Tabernacle Choir, and above it is the amazing body.

Place Heritage Park

When, after the Mormons’ 1,300 distance long travel, Brigham Younger appeared from Emigration Gorge and saw the area of his thoughts he announced, “This is the place!” This Monument was created in 1947 to respect the 100th anniversary of the Mormons’ appearance in Salt Lake Valley. The State Park of the same name comes to Old Deseret Village, a living historical art gallery built to look like an average mid-19th-century Mormon community.

John Smith Memorial Building was built in 1911 and initially recognized as the Hotel Utah, but relabeled honoring the first president of the Mormon Cathedral.
