Parque de Templo de Debod

One of Madrid's most unique attractions is the Temple of Debod. Located in the Parque del Oeste and mostly surrounded by an artificial pool of water, the ancient Egyptian temple dates from the second century BC and was dedicated to Amun and later to Isis. The temple was a gift from Egypt to Spain in recognition of Spain's support in saving Abu Simbel's temples from the construction of the Aswan Dam. Inside the temple you can see a series of religious reliefs and admire the temple's architecture. Entrance to the museum is free during the day, but at any hour, visitors can and do come to appreciate its exterior.
