Buried 100 feet beneath the hillsides of northern Italy lies a collection of ornate temples which the Italian government has dubbed 'The 8th Wonder of the World.
Built in secret by teams of volunteers for over 16 years in a remote Italian town the 'Temples of Damanhur' are not the great legacy of some long-lost civilization, they are the work of a 57-year-old former insurance broker from northern Italy who, inspired by a childhood vision, began digging into the rock.
The original entrance to the temple was this modest looking house.
Below is just a sample of the work that has gone into these temples over the years.
You can also visit the Damanhur religion's official site or the official site for the temples. For information on visiting the temples to even getting married in the temple.
