Fin miljö på Dalarö

Turistbyrån kanske inte är så stor, men den rymmer mycket kunskap, tips på fantastiska utflykter i skärgården och ett rikt utbud på broschyrer, en och annan bok och lite turistgrejer. Är du på Dalarö så är det obligatoriskt att ta en lov till turistbyrån för att ha koll på vad som händer här.

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.
