The Hall

Symbolic
Programme

The Blue Temple is simultaneously the newest and the largest hall — its scale reflects what became possible once the community no longer had to work in secrecy. The ultramarine vault was chosen for universal consciousness: blue in Damanhurian sacred colour theory corresponds to the highest state of expanded awareness, to the sky, to space, and to the divine intelligence that permeates the cosmos. The hall is used for the annual Oracle ceremony, major equinox and solstice rites, and large community gatherings. Its acoustic design was formally engineered — the first hall in the complex where sound was a primary design parameter.

Construction Note

Construction began in 2001 following the Guinness World Record certification. The community used the legal recognition and associated funding to extend the complex with this largest space.

What to
Expect

The hall is not on the standard tour route — it requires the One Day Visit (€140) or a special ceremony ticket. The entrance is a surprise for most visitors: after the comparatively intimate earlier halls, the scale of the Blue Temple is genuinely unexpected. Photography of the vault from below is the standout image. Allow 30–45 minutes.

Construction began only after 2001, following Guinness World Record certification and the legal recognition that allowed open expansion.

All guides speak Italian. English, German, and French are available — specify at booking. Private tours in other languages can be arranged with advance notice.
