Beautiful interior with wonderful frescoes, paintings and sculptures. Lots of interesting details, of course it is an important sacred place, a sanctuary. It breathes the history of this land. I highly recommend visiting. The kindest lady guide colorfully tells and brings closer the old times. ko

I remember that there was a thunderstorm and the roof was leaking right in the place where I was sitting, even the light went out. It was just before St. Francis' Day where the priest came out with the initiative to bless the animals. I was also another time and even when I was a child. It is the main object in Legnickie Pole and, in my opinion, it deserves to be commemorated to some extent.

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.
