With their military mission and extensive financial resources, the Knights Templar funded a large number of building projects around Europe and the Holy Land, many of which structures remain standing today. Many sites also maintain the name "Temple" from early Templar influence. For example, some of the Templars' lands in London were later rented to lawyers, which resulted in the origin of the names of the Temple Bar gateway, the Temple tube station, and many others.

Distinctive architectural elements of Templar buildings included images of the "two knights on a single horse," representing the Knights' poverty, and round buildings which were built to resemble the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

Temple Church, London. Built as a fortress, it was used as a treasury. In modern times it is a tourist attraction and base of operations for England's legal Inns of Court
