The Great Temple, also known as the Temple of the Great Spirit, is considered the most important building in Metru Nui. Located to the far north in Ga-Metru, it is the city's only temple. It is where that Kanohi masks are stored for safekeeping, and it is also home to a Protodermis purification facility. The original Great Temple was destroyed by Protocairns, but was then rebuilt on a strip of land they formed after dying.

At the heart of the temple is the Toa Suva, which is where Matoran were transformed into Toa with the help of Toa Stones. The scriptures in the Great Temple were ancient, but told secrets like the location of Keetongu and the Great Disks. Prior to the Great Cataclysm, the Great Temple was a popular tourist destination for Matoran, although the Toa Suva was off-limits at one point due to Toa Lhikan's 'theft' of the Toa stones inside. The temple survived the Great Cataclysm relatively intact, but it was heavily damaged in a fire started by Toa Hordika Vakama while he was working for Roodaka. After the Visorak horde's withdrawal from Metru Nui the Great Temple underwent further damage when Teridax teleported The Shadowed One's disintegrator eyebeams from the path of their previous target, Toa Vakama. Fortunately, only a section of the temple was destroyed at this time. When the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, the Ga-Matoran managed to rebuild the Great Temple.

The Toa Nuva used their Kakama Nuva to sneak into the temple to retrieve a scroll with a list of tasks for them to do before the awakening of Mata Nui.
