Beautiful Church adjoining the Fontana d'Ercole The Church is interesting inside but I preferred the view from outside with the beautiful small garden right in front of it and the Fontana d'Ercole in its middle. We had a beautiful weather in September, not to hot in the morning and strolling the streets of Notto we came to a stop in front of this garden with the facade of the Church. It was a beautiful view. I have attached several pictures to give you a glimpse of it.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
