The temple of Debod is so much stands out among the overall architecture of Madrid, so clearly contrasts with the other buildings that at first it is hard to imagine how he could be here. Indeed, the history of temple of Debod in one of the streets of the Spanish capital rather unusual. The fact that this temple was donated to Spain by the Egyptian government in 1968 as a thank you for assisting in the construction of the dam and salvation from flooding of the Nubian temples.

The temple was built 2200 years ago and was originally located in southern Egypt, 15 km from the town of Aswan. The construction of the Church began in the 2nd century BC under king of Adikhalamani with the erection of small structures, similar to the chapel. Under the dynasty of the Ptolemies, the structure was expanded and transformed into a temple dedicated to the goddess ISIS.

The temple was erected in Madrid near the Royal Palace in Parque Del Oeste. It is completely surrounded by water is exactly the same as in Egypt, where it was erected. The temple of Debod consists of several buildings, the main of which is a chapel decorated with beautiful relief images. This chapel, which is the oldest part of the temple, were fully preserved in the form in which it was originally built.

The temple of Debod is one of the few well-preserved examples of ancient Egyptian architecture that can be seen outside Egypt.

Located in a picturesque place, the temple of Debod is especially beautiful at night when it is illuminated by the lights of the buildings reflected in the surrounding clear water.
