As novas 7 Maravilhas do Mundo IV



Kiyomizu Temple - Kyoto, Japan




"Laid out in 794 A.D., the palaces and temples of Kyoto were the residences of Japan's emperors and shoguns for more than 1,000 years. The Japanese Emperor is enthroned at the Imperial Palace of Gosho. Among other significant works are the Higashi Nonganji and Nishi
Hoganji temple complexes, the Kinkakuji Temple with
its 'Golden Pavilion' and the Kiyomizu Temple, the temple
of “clear waters.” The Kyoto sites have been destroyed and
rebuilt many times throughout history and are today among
Asia's greatest cultural heritage sites."
