The Temple of Debod (Spanish: Templo de Debod) is an ancient Nubian temple currently located in Madrid, Spain. The temple was originally erected in the early 2nd century BC 15 km (9.3 mi) south of Aswan, Egypt.
The temple of Debod is a reconstructed temple of ancient Egypt in the city of Madrid in Spain in the Parque del Osti Park, on a hill where the Montana barracks were located. When transported to Spain, it was placed in such a way that it maintained almost the same direction as in its original place, from East to West.
The temple was initially built 15 km south of the city of Aswan in southern Egypt near the first waterfall of the Nile in the Dabod area on the West Bank of Lake Nasser. The temple was built for the gods ISIS on the island of Philae, in the second year BC the king of the Kushites from Meroe built a small worship room and dedicated it to the God Amon. It was built and decorated in the same late style as the temples in Meroe, including the temple of the Decca, during the reign of Ptolemy VI, Ptolemy VIII, and Ptolemy XII in the Ptolemaic era the room was expanded from its four sides to become a small temple with an area of twelve meters by fifteen meters, and it was dedicated to the goddess Isis in Philae, and the emperors completed The Romans Augustus and Tiberius decorate the temple.
The temple begins with a sidewalk faced by a long processional way that passes through three stone gates and leads to an open courtyard, then two lobbies and the temple ends with the Holy of Holies, which contains a NAOS of pink granite stone, the temple's Bowl is based on four columns, which collapsed in 1868, and behind it is the temple erected to the god Amun.
In 1960, during the construction of the High Dam in Aswan, which was threatening many archaeological sites and ancient temples, UNESCO, in cooperation with the Egyptian government, launched a global appeal to protect this legendary history from loss and destruction, and in recognition of the efforts and assistance of the state of Spain in helping to save and preserve the temple of Abu Simbel, the Egyptian government donated the temple of Debod to the state of Spain in 1968.
The temple of Debod was rebuilt in one of the parks of Madrid, Parque del Oeste, near the royal palace in Madrid, and the temple was opened to the public in 1972. the temple gates were rearranged in a different order from what the temple was in Egypt. This is shown by comparing the photos of the temple taken for it in Egypt, as the gate topped by a winged serpent was not the closest to the temple, and the temple is considered one of the ancient Egyptian engineering works that can be seen outside Egypt and the only one of its kind in Spain.
