Temple of Debod


Temple of Debod is such a great place to visit monument here in Madrid. Vivian and I Decided to venture out and explore this Temple. At first I was not very enthusiastic to go see it due to the fact That the images of this monument did not do it justice. The historical background of this monument is what makes even more interesting. The Temple was built in south Egypt close to the Nile, and was a religious place dedicated to the goddess of Isis. but was rebuild in Madrid porque was in a threat after the Great Dam of Aswan was built. Spain Decided to help save the temple and the Egyptians donated the temple of Debod to Spain in 1968. This temple was rebuilt and still holds the real stones and sacredness That Helped it back in the day. First walking up to the Temple you notice its above a hill of a park and it overlooks the beautiful landscape Madrid. You could see House, the amusement parks there, the big beautiful cathedrals, and I thought You Could even see the Royal Palace. This monument is three buildings. One way is like an entree and the second is as well, but the third building was the best. You could walk through it and be surrounded by hieroglyphic writing on the walls. There was two levels to this small building and was completely tight to walk through. Being surrounded by an old Egyptian building, while in Spain was Such an experience out of this world, completely amazing. Even though it was not a great place to be in if your claustrophobic, Because you are almost back to back with a strange while moving around the building but I highly suggest people take the time to walk around and absorb the spirituality That was in the temple place for.
