Alfava Metraxis was a planet which was orginally home to the temple of the Weeping Angels, but was later home to the Human Race after they terraformed it, so it was compatable for human needs.
The temple was originaly believed to a tomb of the Alvacs who had mysteriosly vanished centuries before however the truth was far more disturbing. It was actually the home of a large colony of Angels that had long ago exausted their food suply and were to week to attack a nerby human settlement on the planet.
By the 51st century, a lone fully powered Angel apprently allowed it self to be captured by pretending to be in a dormant cycle and waited until it was placed on a ship with a tempral core and when close to the planet crashed it on top of the temple. It used its powers to make sure the core didn't explode and directed the energy so it could recharge its brethren.
When the Byzantium crash landed there the Doctor, Amy Pond and River Song went to the temple there to investigate and save the people on the Byzantium. (DW: The Time of Angels)
