Temple of Debod, Madrid

The last thing we expected to find when exploring Madrid was an Egyptian temple. But here you go! The 2nd century Temple of Debod, originally built south of Aswan and dedicated to the worship of the goddess Isis. It was donated to Spain in 1968 by the Egyptian government in gratitude for the help provided by Spain in saving the temples of Abu Simbel when the Aswan Dam was built and the area flooded.
