Seeing how religion as popular as in other nations, we don't really have any giant and/or major temple.

I guess The Repository could count, but that is not really a place of worship, it's more of a knowledge storage center.

The Grand Citadel

The Grand Citadel of the Divine Pantheon of the Awn, better known as the Grand Citadel, is the heart of the Glenfinian Faith and the seat of its leader, the High Priestess. It is the heart of our faith and was built upon the ground in which the Divine Pantheon was said to give life to the Awn. Once a year the reigning monarch of Awyyn spends a week in prayer in the Grand Citadel.

Rising Grace Cathedral

Rising Grace Cathedral is located in the capital city of Iris. It is the largest public venue of worship to the Glenfinian Faith. The coronation of all Emperors/Empresses has occurred here since its construction 400 years ago. Typically royal weddings have also occurred at Rising Grace Cathedral.

The Sacred Heart Basilica is the largest and most grand of all Christian worship centers.

The Mount Caramel Synagogue is the largest Jewish worship center.

The Tel Dan Mosque is the largest Muslim worship center.

Out of those three the Sacred heart Basilica is the largest.

The aptly named Grand Temple is the largest religious structure in the Empire, comparable in size and building style to of all things, the Jefferson Memorial in the United States/your local America analog where applicable.

The Grand Temple is about eight thousand years old so it's not precisely new, and it's function is actually relatively unknown while it does depict in great detail our largest native religion we do not know it's purpose, as it is explicitly stated in the Ancients language that it is an archive, not a house of worship.

Suffice to say this makes things awkward.

The largest religious centre of worship in size would be the Church of Saint Mary and the Trinity of the Redeemer, located at 1 Chapel Street, Quarter d'Francaise, Sheung Hoi. It measures 500ft by 400ft approximately.

However, the largest religious centre of worship by congregants would be Faith Community Baptist Church (National). It has many branches around the country and currently has over 3 million members in its congregation. Its main church, with about 90,564 members is located at 15 Hujiadi Street, Puxi District, Sheung Hoi.

The largest temple (assuming that "temple" is defined as a structure reserved for religious activity) of Carathius is the Cathedral of the Apostle Andrew. It is located in the center of the capital, Carathius City, next to the Presidential Palace, and is used for worship by the Eastern Orthodox faithful.

The Hall of Heroes is a large temple complex in Alvir City, encompassing an entire district of the city. It was built in the Iron Age, and features a massive marble floor and no roads with-in, no roof, or walls. It home to the statues of all of Uelvan's nationally accepted Heroes with a description of their great deeds, as well as the foreign heroes who have earned great respect in the nation. People from all over the nation come here in pilgrimage and to pay respect to their fellow man. In addition to being a temple, it's also one of the only places in Uelvan that does not consistently experience violence, aside from some the occasional intolerant foreign fanatic or some anti-theist looking to cause problems with the religious minded.

Outside of Raevenna is a large plain, on which is our grand temple. It is about 250 ft. high x 750 ft. long x 250 ft. wide. It looks strange, a huge structure built in a empty field. It houses about 250 Priests, the most in anyone place in the nation. It has a steeped, and has many small towers on top of the roof. It has 12 rose windows, as well as 36 huge stain glass windows. Underneath it is a large network of tunnels for the Priests to live in. Behind the alter, outside the temple, is a grove of 300 ash trees, holy to the Serretens.

size restrictions on constructed spaces are based on environmental and aesthetic considerations.
there are no other restrictions on those constructed by religious organizations then on those constructed by or for anyone else, even government agencies.

there are no restrictions on underground construction that does not disrupt surface features other then that it be safe and stable.

sacred spaces in cameroi generally tend to be natural spaces, or surrounded by a great deal of natural space.

grottoes and groves predominate.

nalanuthu temples tend to be a large central geodisic dome surround by smaller domes intersecting it. these small surrounding domes may be of any number and most contain meditation retreat rooms.

the temple of the founding, is, i suppose the most well known. the actual monument of the founding is not in nor directly adjacent, but near the far end of the adjacent arboretum.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.
