Shrines are statue-like objects found randomly-located around the world of Sanctuary. They are found in all Acts and levels in Diablo III, and each shrine provides a short term (two minute) buff to some player ability, such as increased Magic Find, attack rate, movement rate, and more.

Diablo III launched with four types of shrines, and two more (the Fleeting Shrine and the Empowered Shrine) were added in Patch 1.0.5. See the Shrines article for full details.
