Beautiful church and a nice town

Hans Hansen (7 years ago)
Very beautiful church with lots of wood carving details. it's a must if you are around in town, you really should have a look at this. Don't forget to check out the incredible reverb you have in the entrance hall, and then you Andrew this really beautiful church. Maybe you're lucky and you can attend one of the concerts they give over here.

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.
