Temple of Debod
I got stuck in traffic on my way here and missed the sunset. But the sky was so dramatic! Madrid, Spain Jan-2020

From "IntroducingMadrid.com":
"This ancient Egyptian temple is from the second century B.C. and was donated to Spain by the Egyptian state for helping save the Abu Simbel temple, as well as other monuments and archaeological sites, from being buried under the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
The Debod Temple was dismantled and transported to Spain, but it took two years to rebuild, since there were no reliable blueprints of the structure and some of the stones got lost during the shipment and had to be replaced. Finally, Debod was opened to the public on 20 July 1972."
