Things to do in Temple of Debod
The Temple of Debod is an ancient Egyptian temple located in central Madrid next to the Parque del Oeste park.
The temple dates from the 2nd century BC, and it was built at the orders of the Meroë King Adijalamani. The construction started by building a small single-room chapel dedicated to the god Amun. During the reigns of the Ptolemaic dynasty, it was extended to form a small temple, dedicated to Isis of Philae. During the Roman Empire, the emperors Augustus and Tiberius completed the decorations.
The temple of Debod has been donated to the city of Madrid in 1968 by the Egyptian government for the assistance provided saving ancient structures from flooding. It was transported and rebuilt stone by stone keeping the building’s original orientation. It was opened to the public in 1972.

Reviews Temple of Debod
“Belle promenade, dommage que le hop on hop off ne soit pas proposé. Réservé sur internet. Le point de rendez vous indiqué sur la confirmation était complètement erroné.”
“Es gibt kein Hop on Hop off, nur eine Rundfahrt, das ist nicht dasselbe - und nur 1 Einstieg beim Prado, sodass sich dort alles zusammenschob mit Anstehen. Ich würde es nicht empfehlen, da kann man besser mit den öffentlichen Bussen fahren, z.B. Linie 001 vom Prado bis über den Plaza Espana zum Nulltarif und da kann man Ein- und Aussteigen, wo man will !!!!!!!!!! Keine Information, nur Werbung an den normalen Busstationen, wo die Busse der Citytour immer durchfuhren - sehr ärgerlich”
“Always recommend a city tour to get your bearings. This company provided 2 routes and well worth doing both. Thank you”
