It was the temple in Jerusalem, and Jesus had gone there to worship and visit with the Christian personnel there. However, instead he saw the moneychangers and others attempting to make money from the sacred temple.
The Temple was the House of God and a place of prayer; as such it was a sacred and holy place. Turning it into a marketplace was contemptuous, irreverent, and a desecration.

He was angry because people were selling bad things in the temple
Jesus was angry at the temple because people were using it as a marketplace instead of treating it as the house of God.
He was upset because they were making a market out of the temple. They were selling allot of things.
He threw the money changers out of the temple. That sounds like he meant business.
Jesus had great respect for the temple in Jerusalem because he knew what it stood for. The temple had long been the center of true worship on earth. But that worship—the worship of the holy God, Jehovah—must be clean and pure. He was extremely disappointed to see how men demand exorbitant prices from those who have to buy animals needed for sacrifice. Jesus viewed their dealings as extortion, or robbery.
I think He felt that, not only the temple of that day was being desecrated but the history of the temple of worship was being desecrated as well. The original temple was constructed for the purpose of bringing all people together. The temple at this particular time was, in fact, separating Gentiles and Jews and making it impossible (because of the distractions in the Gentile court) for Gentiles to get to the place of actual worship which was an area beyond the Gentile court (the only area where Gentiles were permitted).

AnswerThere was only one Jewish Temple, the Temple in Jerusalem. So, this would have been the only Jewish temple that Jesus visited.
