The White Rose Shrine
A tranquil sanctuary built from polished limestone and nestled within a walled garden. The temple consists of a central domed prayer hall connected to two smaller wings by open-air colonnades. Flowering white roses climb the exterior pillars, filling the air with a sweet, calming scent that masks the smell of the surrounding city.
