The Egyptian temple reflected in the water, the garden around it, the views to La Almudena Cathedral, the Royal Palace and the mountains. Everything is perfect. The sunset and the night illumination are fascinating. Definitively the best place to go in a summer night. More

Not much interesting inside the temple with few artifacts, hence the architectural structure outside is absolutely stunning. Perfect for night photography or at sunset. More

Make sure you check the hours ahead of time. I have been twice and I was not able to go inside. The outside is incredible, but I would like to see the inside. More

In fact I am still thinking about this amazing 4th century BC structure, it oddly fits in to its 'new' home of Madrid since reconstructed in 1971. We were fortunate to be staying close-by to this park where the ancient Egyptian temple now stands and got to see it at various times of the day, just on dusk is a... More

It is a very interesting and beautiful sight, especially at sunset. I really enjoyed the change of pace with this Egyptian Temple with all of the Spanish Monuments of Madrid. More

This is a must see during SUNSET specifically. The way the sun reflects the water as it sets makes it look so, Bonita!! The only downer that I had was all of the bugs flying around you! I wasn't able to enter it due to the time but from the sign I read that the replica temple was donated to... More
