https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.or ... -announcedThe First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the location of the Barcelona Spain Temple.
This temple will be built at the intersection of Avinguda de la Vía Augusta and Avinguda de la Clota, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain. Plans call for a two-story temple of approximately 27,500 square feet. An ancillary building of approximately 13,600 square feet, with patron housing, an arrival center and a distribution center will also be built on the 5.4-acre site.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sant_Cugat_del_VallèsSant Cugat has become an affluent suburb of Barcelona due to its location (only 20 kilometres from the city), its natural surroundings, and its pedestrian shopping area. Sant Cugat also offers restaurants, a concert venue, two cinemas, and one large shopping centre.
The Church's association with affluent areas, upmarket restaurants and shopping, seems somewhat contrary to my understanding of how Jesus would operate an organisation.
