Maison du Temple, Templar Commandery in Le Marais, France.

The Temple compound encompassed six hectares with a central round church, a 40-meter tower built in 1240, and residential buildings within fortified walls.

The Paris Temple served as the financial center for collecting and managing Templar funds from France and England before transferring them to the East.

The Temple area transformed Paris urban landscape, leaving its mark through street names like Rue du Temple and Boulevard du Temple in the 3rd district.

Archaeological excavations in 2011 at Carreau du Temple revealed remains of the church, cemetery, and French priory dating from the 14th to 18th centuries.

The Temple tower became a prison where the French royal family awaited execution during 1792-1793.
