Romanesque church, very well preserved.
Angel Martínez (3 years ago)
It is a church, which in addition to having Santiago as its patron saint, has the Jaqués checkered pattern on the upper part of the door. Despite the fact that no Camino de Santiago is recognized from this area, there is a tradition of pilgrimage from this coast. There is also an oral tradition that speaks of a tunnel from the church to the Torres de Mens Like many other churches, you can only visit the interior during mass hours. The small fort that are the towers, cannot be visited either because it is private property

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.
