Private castle opened on the occasion of the FAI day. Viewing only the external and some rooms, including the library / chapel.

A nice place to visit over spring and summer. Opened only iccasionaly. A nice green park.
Liliana Dinu (7 years ago)
It is a private castle, open to the public for the FAI spring days. It will be available for private events with a reduced number of people, I think, also having a small consecrated church.
Andrea Zecchi (7 years ago)
Small private castle from the Middle Ages, dating back to the 12th century. Currently inhabited, it is available for parties, events or meetings. Partly renovated, it certainly needs other works to be further enhanced. It has a large well-kept garden that surrounds it. Recommended!

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.
