Constructed by the secretive Knights Templar in the 12th century, the magnificent Temple Church stands today as a sprawling oasis of fine buildings and pleasant, traffic-free green space, home to two Inns of Court: Inner Temple and Middle Temple. It showcases a distinct design, with the Round (consecrated in 1185 and believed to have been modelled after the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem) adjoined to the Chancel (built in 1240). Notable features include the west door and elaborately moulded porch, examples of Norman architecture, and nine 13th-century knights laid out on the floor of the Round. In 1214–15, negotiations for Magna Carta were held here - one of just four round churches remaining in England. Moreover, the book and film The Da Vinci Code feature scenes set at the Temple Church. The church was damaged by a bomb in 1941, but it has been faithfully restored and stands as a testament to its long and rich history.
