Audio tour · The Temple of Debod

2:05

You're standing at the Temple of Debod, in the Parque del Oeste in Madrid, not far from the Royal Palace. A real ancient temple from Egypt, right in the middle of a Spanish park. That's rare, because only a few works of ancient Egyptian architecture stand outside Egypt. This is the only one in Spain.
