The Temple of Debod is an ancient Nubian temple originally erected in the early 2nd century BC some 15 kilometers south of Aswan, Egypt. In 1968, the Egyptian government donated the temple to Spain in recognition of Spain's role in the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia. Dismantled and transported to Madrid, the temple was reconstructed in the Parque de la Montaña between 1970 and 1972. It remains one of the few surviving examples of ancient Egyptian architecture to be relocated outside Egypt and the sole such structure in Spain, now functioning as a museum and designated a bien de interés cultural.
