Templo de Debod

posted by vwyatt on 31 August 2011 at 11:09

Wow, I never knew there was a real Egyptian Temple in Madrid!! Shipped over in pieces when it was removed from Egypt to escape the Aswan High Dam flooding, it now occupies a stunning spot boasting views of the gardens towards the Palacio Real.

Temple of Debod

posted by phaile on 30 November 2010 at 11:08

In the 70s, the Egyptians had to call on the help of the Spanish government to cope with the problems caused by the flooding of the Nile. As a thank you gift for the Spanish help, they built this 4th century BC temple in Madrid which was demolished, transported and then reconstructed stone by stone in a pretty park in the centre of town. Its a curious sight and really worth a visit.
