Aldealseñor medieval palace once belonged to the López de Salcedo family, due to the fact that on the façade you can see their coat of arms. It was built between the 14th and 16th centuries and it has a great tower that stands 26 metres tall. Due to the orientation of the tower, instead of being used as a defensive structure, it seems to have been just a decorative feature of the palace. The spectacular façade has two entryways, beautiful ashlar windows and doors, and the coat of arms and medallions.
References: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.
