Did you know that there's an Egyptian temple in the middle of Madrid? No, I'm not making this up! Basically, it was given to the Spanish government as a thank you for helping save some temples in Egypt. The temple was shipped over and rebuilt in Madrid in the late 60s. It's one of very few pieces of ancient Egyptian architecture you can see outside of Egypt. But apart from all the history, the temple is also a great place to enjoy a picnic with friends. It's in the middle of a park, and it gives you one of the best views of the sunset in Madrid.
