Abstract: The temple is delimited from the house by privileging specifically a hierofanic place of the sacred. The delimitation of the temple from the house is not equivalent with the concrete aspect of it, so it indicatesan existential – qualitative value of this delimitation. The temple as a stable structure of the sacred transcends by indicating a non-localizable determination: the interface between the non-appropriated territory of nature and the settlement.
