Very pretty church, particularly its imposing tower and its well-preserved interior. The surroundings are also very nice, the square and the small streets as well as the typical houses.

Magnificent ensemble of this church and its tower, a must-see. Its environment is not to be outdone, beautiful large square, dynamic commerce, narrow streets and half-timbered houses, restaurants and terraces, a very romantic city with heritage Impressive medieval.

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.
