St. Martin Garrison Church

Dresden, Germany

The St. Martin garrison church of Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which had been created as a military town for much of the Saxon army. The church, built between 1893 and 1900, is divided into two separate church halls for the Protestant and Catholic denominations, of which since 1945 only the Catholic part is used in a sacred way.

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen in Europe. With so much details in the structure. Google says it is closed but the door was open and people were inside.

Such a beautiful church! A bit out of city center, but it worth visiting if you have time. The church was open to visit, even though in the Google said it was already close due to the time. It's quite small the visiting area inside, but it's very beautiful. When I visit the outside needed some maintenance, I hope they will take more care of it.

A very beautiful and serene church at a very beautiful location. The interior architecture is so mesmerizing. The church is open for visiting from 12:00 to 17:00. The historical church is very old but well maintained making it one masterpiece of art.

I can not believe this church is not more talked about. It is absolutely breathtaking. Has such a uniqueness to it that isn't seen often.

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.
