Salt Lake Tabernacle

The Salt Lake Tabernacle is one of Temple Square’s most recognizable and beloved buildings. Designed in the 1860s, the Tabernacle roof spans 150 feet without supporting pillars, creating extraordinary acoustics that allow even a pin drop to be heard across the hall.

Inside, the historic organ—with more than 11,600 pipes—provides a majestic backdrop for worship of Jesus Christ and concerts. For over a century, the Tabernacle has been the home of The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square, whose music inspires listeners worldwide.

While rich in history and engineering, the heart of the Tabernacle is its purpose: to lift souls toward God. Many visitors find this a meaningful place to feel a sense of spiritual connection.
