Templo de Debod (Temple of Debod) – Paseo Pintor Rosales 2, Madrid, Spain

Close to Plaza de España, in the heart of the city, is an ancient Egyptian temple. It was gifted to Spain by Egypt in 1968 as thanks for the country’s efforts in saving historic sites that would have otherwise been flooded when the Aswan High Dam was complete. The temple stood in the Nile Valley of Egypt from the 4th century BCE and is dedicated to the Egyptian gods Isis and Amun. The building is in a park, surrounded by a pool which reflects its image. There are also great views of the city.
