The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints revealed more details Monday about the locations of five new temples announced by President Thomas S. Monson at the church's general conference this past Saturday:

• The Philadelphia temple will be built in downtown Philadelphia, at North Broad Street between Hamilton Street and Noble Street.

• For the temple serving the greater Kansas City area, the site will be in Clay County, Mo., on residential land within the Kansas City limits that is already being developed by the church. The development is known as Shoal Creek.

• The temple in Cordoba, Argentina, will be situated on the Belgrano meetinghouse site, next to the present mission home of the church.

• The Calgary temple will be built on church-owned land next to an existing chapel in the northwest part of the city, at the intersection of Rocky Ridge Road and Royal Oak Road.

• In Rome, the temple will occupy part of a 15-acre church-owned site near the ring road skirting the northeast section of the city.

No designs have been completed for the temples announced on Saturday.
