Religious precinct

A religious precinct may be defined by a physical enclosure, although this is not always the case.

[1] Religious precincts are an aspect of the spatiality of religion.

[2] In some cases, a religious precinct may take up a substantial part of a city: the sacred precinct in Tenochtitlan encompassed 78 buildings.

The ancient Roman sacred precinct at Altbachtal encompassed more than 70 distinct temples.
