Visitando el Templo Egipcio de Debod en Madrid. // Visiting the Egyptian Temple of Debod in Madrid.

Desde acá el recorrido termina, ya que es muy breve, sin embargo para abarcar mas de su historia basta con buscar en la pagina del ayuntamiento:

https://www.madrid.es/portales/munimadrid/es/Inicio/Cultura-ocio-y-deporte/Cultura-y-ocio/Templo-de-Debod?vgnextfmt=default&vgnextoid=46caa0d03aa8b010VgnVCM100000d90ca8c0RCRD&vgnextchannel=c937f073808fe410VgnVCM2000000c205a0aRCRD

Al finalizar podemos recorrer un poco de los alrededores del templo y la parte exterior y allí es donde podemos notar algunas diferencias en las columnas principales, ya que 2 de ellas son originales y otras 2 hechas en la cantera de Salamanca.

Es una parte de historia muy interesante de ver, vale la pena visitar y pedir la ayuda del personal para descifrar su historia.

Este pequeño plan sencillo lo hice con mi amigo @jesusaleizarra, quien me comentó sobre ello y nos fuimos inmediatamente al lugar.
Vale la pena y no se pierdan la oportunidad.

Una curiosidad, es que nos planteamos visitar los otros templos que están acá en Europa, así que esperamos en el próximo año cumplir ese sueño.

Sin mas nada que agregar me despido, nos vemos en la próxima.

Hey friends how are you, a pleasure to greet you here again, it's been a long time since I did a post about travels, excursions or trips to nature, some tourist destination and the truth is that @ninaeatshere encouraged me to do it again. Of course now I am in another continent far away from the landscapes of Colombia or Venezuela, where I visited incredible places.
Now I am in Spain, in the city of tapas, the city that does not sleep, the villa or the court, which is Madrid and the truth is that it has many different nicknames, a very big city very nice and with incredible tourist places, there are countless parks, squares, museums, monuments and recreational areas. For now I am in the task of visiting these incredible sites and some full of history, not only in Madrid center but also in the surrounding areas, such as Leganés, Móstoles, Alcorcón, all belonging to the community of Madrid and of course surrounding localities.

Today I want to show you a little of the temple of Debod, which is a real Egyptian temple, and dating back to 200-180 years BC as I was told there, this temple was donated by the Egyptian Government to Spain in 1968, as thanks for the help that this country gave to preserve and reorganize several temples of the Nubian region.
I explain a little, in the region of Nubia Christianity was present, so these ancient temples were closed and abandoned, in addition to this was ordered the construction of a dam with which they did not count that the river level would rise and so most of these temples were completely under water, which is why a group of countries and as I understood with UNESCO entities made a plan to relocate these temples and thus preserve the history. It was hard work and involved countries such as Italy, Holland and the United States as well as Spain.

Spain got the temple of Debod as a reward, and it was literally transported stone by stone and rebuilt in the place known as the Cuartel de la Montaña, a place that has other stories behind it, for example in 1908, Napoleon's French troops shot the rebels of the uprising of May 2. Likewise, when the Spanish Civil War broke out, the famous barracks that was built in 1860 was completely destroyed.

That is why there are gardens surrounding this temple, of course it has incredible views towards the Royal Palace and the beginning of Moncloa where the Royal Palace was located before and there are still beautiful gardens and is so to speak a neighborhood or small community.
I don't want to bore you with so much history, but you can find more of it on the Madrid City Hall website.
