Very beautiful church. Beautiful interior paintings

A little flashback to my childhood. Castelsarrasin has become a very pretty little town, and the red brick church with its tower is very original and well maintained. The neighborhood is very pleasant ?

Nothing to say, closed. Sad city, even if we were able to quench our thirst at the Café Chaud, pleasant welcome, only bistro open in the city center

Very very beautiful church... What more can be said ? We can return without problems... And come there every Sunday.

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.
