The Oakland California Temple (formerly the Oakland Temple) is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in the hills of Oakland, California. Church president David O. McKay announced the construction of the building in 1961.
The temple is a prominent landmark featuring a five-spire East Asian architectural design. The temple complex includes a visitors' center and a garden with fountains frequently used in photoshoots, as it offers panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay Area. The auditorium hosts performances open to the public such as dance, music, and pageants. The Hayward Fault runs through the property, necessitating two lengthy closures for seismic retrofit.
