The Fort Lauderdale Temple stands in the equestrian community of Davie — on the western edge of Broward County — its Neoclassical white spire rising above beautifully landscaped grounds of native palms, bougainvillea, and subtropical plantings. Florida’s second temple and the 143rd in the world, it was dedicated on May 4, 2014 by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf and serves members throughout South Florida and the Caribbean. Our collection of Fort Lauderdale Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this beautiful temple in a range of styles and sizes.

Announced on October 2, 2010 and dedicated on May 4, 2014 by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple is the 143rd operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the second built in Florida — following the Orlando Temple. The 28,000-square-foot temple sits on a 10-acre site at 3430 Temple Way in Davie, described by its architects as "an interpretation of Neoclassicism" featuring a white precast concrete exterior, tall arched windows, classical columns, and a single 116-foot spire. Securing approval for the temple involved a multi-year process: Church representatives submitted site plans to the Town of Davie in May 2010, held public participation meetings in June 2010, received Town Council approval in March 2011, and broke ground on June 18, 2011, with Elder Walter F. González presiding. The Angel Moroni statue was placed atop the spire on October 24, 2012, a milestone that drew members and onlookers to witness the installation.
The evening before the dedication, President Uchtdorf attended a youth cultural celebration featuring over 1,000 performers from throughout South Florida, celebrating the faith and diversity of the region's Latter-day Saint community. The dedication on May 4, 2014 marked a significant milestone for members of the seven South Florida stakes and Caribbean district who now had a temple within driving distance rather than the five-hour journey to Orlando. The Fort Lauderdale Temple's tropical setting — surrounded by the subtropical vegetation, warm breezes, and vivid sky of South Florida — has made it a distinctive and beloved subject for temple photographers.
The Fort Lauderdale Temple's Neoclassical white spire and tropical surroundings — native palms, bougainvillea, and lush Broward County landscaping — create a uniquely South Florida photographic subject. The warm golden light, vivid blue skies, and dramatic tropical storm clouds that characterize the Fort Lauderdale area provide beautiful and varied photography conditions throughout the year. Our collection features photography and fine art capturing the temple in the vivid subtropical beauty of South Florida.
Fort Lauderdale Temple prints make a meaningful and inspirational gift for members throughout South Florida and the Caribbean — and for anyone with a connection to this beautiful temple in the Sunshine State. Perfect for weddings, mission homecomings, new homes, and other milestone occasions.
