One star is missing due to the complete lack of maintenance. Luckily it is placed under the constraint of the ministry of cultural heritage ....

Great place to visit along the SS106 road (one of the best road for touring) in the South Italy. A little bit difficult to reach the castle cause the bad condition of the road. On the top there a special view on the Jonian Sea. Like a lot of places in the south Italy is abandoned. Just near the castle there is a beautiful watchtower. I recommend to visit 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.
