One of the most recognizable landmarks on the San Diego skyline is welcoming visitors once again. The San Diego California Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has reopened its doors to the public following a renovation, with an open house now underway that invites community members of all faiths to step inside and take a look around.
The temple, whose distinctive white spires are a beloved part of the city’s skyline, is considered one of the most popular LDS temples and holds a special place in the history of the faith. According to the Church News and the Church’s official newsroom, the open house began the week of June 15, 2026, giving the broader San Diego community a rare opportunity to tour the interior of the sacred building.
The San Diego Union-Tribune noted that the temple shares historic ties to the faith’s earliest temple traditions, making this open house a meaningful milestone not just for local members, but for anyone curious about the landmark they’ve admired from afar for years. The Salt Lake Tribune also highlighted the temple’s significance, describing it as one of the most beloved in the entire faith.
For San Diegans, the open house is a chance to connect with a piece of the city’s architectural and spiritual heritage. Whether you’re a longtime member of the congregation, a neighbor who has always wondered what’s inside, or simply a lover of San Diego’s unique landmarks, the doors are open and the welcome is genuine.
Those interested in touring the renovated temple are encouraged to check the Church’s official newsroom for open house dates, times, and any reservation details before visiting.
