Romanesque style church, more beautiful on the outside and sober on the inside.

An absolutely stunning Romanesque church (I would say Norman, but that was just the period on British history).

Very beautiful Romanesque church in the center of Rosheim. Well maintained. Quiet place that calls for contemplation. Regularly the church hosts exhibitions, small concerts. Its square is also used during events organized by the city and its associations: Venetian carnival, Christmas market,...

A wonderful house of Christian worship. Please enter with respect. It is quite an architectual historical place but also a site of active religious practice. It should be admired. Yet visitors should open their hearts and minds to the fact that this isnt just a beautiful stone monument. It serves a lively congregation.

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.
