English term or phrase: place of worship
Dear colleagues,

I need to know if there is a traditional translation for "place of worship" (as in "church"). "Locus cultus" would be a literal translation, but I am looking for a more standard translation.

Thanks!

Explanation:
Hi Flavio. How about "locus sacer"?

For instance:
Proinde et si maritus ad oblationem dei uxori donavit, vel locum, in quo opus publicum quod promiserat facere, velut aedem publicam, dedicaret, fiet locus sacer. sed et si quid ei det, ut donum deo detur vel consecretur, dubium non est, quin debeat valere: quare et si oleum pro ea in aede sacra posuerit, valet donatio.
