Temple of Debod: An Ancient Egyptian Temple

An old Egyptian temple can be seen in La Montaa Park, adjacent to the Plaza de Espaa. The Temple of Debod was presented to Madrid in 1968 as a gift from Egypt as recognition for Spain's assistance in preserving the Abu Simbel temples during the construction of the Aswan Dam.

The temple, which was erected in the second century BC for King Adikhalamani, was devoted to the Egyptian deities Amun and Isis. Inside the temple are original embellishments that have been maintained well, which is unusual for an archaeological site. Peaceful grounds with a fountain and mirrored pools surround the monument, giving it a wonderful appearance.
