The Templo de Debod is an Egyptian temple near Plaza de España, Madrid. It once stood in the Valley of the Nile, 31km (19 miles) from Aswan.
When the new dam threatened the temple, the Egyptian government dismantled the artifact and presented it to Spain.
Taken down stone by stone in 1969 and 1970, it was shipped to Valencia and taken by rail to Madrid, where it was reconstructed and opened to the public in 1971.
Photos at the site depict the temple's long history.
