Church of Santolaya de Ujo (Uxo, Mieres, Asturies). It is a church with Romanesque elements (12th-13th centuries), on the Camino de Santiago, next to the railway tracks, although the image we see today is a recomposed temple, because it was demolished in 1922, due to the need to improve the layout. railway (electrification of the Uxo-Busdongo section). Some Romanesque elements were rescued: the exedra, which stands out as a side chapel to the E. (original apse); the triumphal arch, relocated to the mouth of the new apse; the main doorway, which as usual was to the W., was relocated to the N. In 1956, in the archaeological excavations, the so-called 'Lauda del Niño Velasco' (921) and other children's tombs were found, the remains of a Christian necropolis that next to the 'pre-Romanesque' church already existed in the ss. IX-X (according to the donation of Ordoño I in 860). The current church (1924), historicist - neo-Romanesque, of pre-Romanesque inspiration -, the work of the municipal architect José Avelino Díaz Fdez-Omaña (1889-1960).

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.
