Grand Temple

The only building in the world to house within it a temple to each and every god. This huge Grand Central Station of worship is a must-visit for pilgrims of any god and a cultural center to boot.

Purpose / Function

As Cen is the largest city on Onus that is not built around a temple dedicated to one god, the people there built one huge "neutral ground" temple with attending priests from every deity. Over time it became a natural meeting place for travelling High Priests, and now whenever a summit is called, it is almost certainly held at the Grand Temple.

Architecture

The wheel-like layout of the temple provides equal space for each mini-temple (picture if you will a small common room with a few dorms clustered around it), the entrances to which each resembles a vivarium to host at least one (but usually several) of the bird associated with that deity. 
The "hub" (surrounded by a spacious hall that leads to all the temples and entrances) features a large meeting hall and a modest kitchen that each temple takes turns staffing.

Tourism

The Grand Temple, despite its significance, is largely viewed as a very touristy location by locals. They tend to go to small singular temples peppered throughout the city and leave the Grand Temple to the pilgrims. Out-of-towners usually want to go to the Grand Temple to take in the novelty of it, the beautiful architecture, or occasionally because they are attending a summit. Locals usually send visitors there because it's easier to point to the monolithic building than to give instructions to a particular temple down some tangle of potentially confusing streets.
The kitchen largely feeds the other priests, but visitors are welcome to partake as well. (With as many dining establishments as there are in Cen, the Grand Temple kitchen is not really that exciting, and it's not the only charity kitchen either.) The real draw for tourists there is that for a small donation, they will be given a portion of treats appropriate for offering to the birds at the entrance to one of the temples. It's seen as a holy act, but also, feeding the birds is good entertainment.
