Functioning Modern Temples
I just read the thread about temple construction and a question popped into my head, are there any modern-day temples dedicated to the Gods that are in use? I know that it is unlikely, but at the same time it is possible. I'm doing some research and if anyone knew of any that have been constructed, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share any information that you had. Thanks!

There is, I believe, a quasi-functioning temple outside of Thessalonica, and there are a small handful of essentially private/sodality-specific shrines elsewhere in Greece – none genuinely public, for a variety of reasons.
However, there is really no fundamental difference between a municipal temple and a proper domestic shrine other than size and access. Private temples existed in Antiquity, and, given that it is rightly constructed and properly maintained, a domestic shrine is quite literally a temple in miniature.

It's not the Parthenon, but at least it's a start.
