Description
This temple was donated to Spain by the Republic of Egypt in 1968. If not moved, the Debod Temple would have been flooded by the building of a dam.
The temple was built approximately 2200 years ago to honor the gods Amon and Isis. Constructed in the Nubian town of Debod (thus its name), it was later enlarged and redecorated by the Ptolemanic pharaohs and the Roman emperors.
