Today we visited the church of St. Peter and Paul in Načeradec during the service celebrated by the vicar Lukáš Okurka, a beautiful mass in the historic Catholic booth.

The original Romanesque church dominates the square next to the town hall and the remains of the fortress. The oldest part is from around 1120. A fire in the 13th century meant a Gothic reconstruction. The most famous local monument is the Načerad missal from the end of the 13th century.

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.
