At the top of the village of Yermo we find this Romanesque jewel (later belfry). It is famous for its corbels

Romanesque church that is close to Cartes and Riocorvo, everything is worth a visit. It is famous for the theme of some of its corbels.

Bells Romanesque Church with a good collection of corbels of different themes, music, erotic... To highlight the portico with the fight of a knight with a beast or dragon that has its replica inside.

Beautiful Romanesque church, it had a sign on the door with the hours of guided tours (I understand that the church is also open hours) was from 10-2 and I think from 7-9 pm, a pity not having taken a photo to share

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.
