Beautiful Romanesque and Gothic church, nicely restored, on the banks of the river where it is very pleasant to walk.

Superb architecture, too bad it is not open outside of masses

Very beautiful church with an idyllic setting for a picnic, paved square with markets for access to the water table...

A place steeped in history with beautiful architecture. A beautiful river with ducks, geese and at night, bats. It's calm and relaxing. Very pleasant.

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.
