TEMPLE OF DEBOD
It is an Egyptian temple dating from the 2nd century BC, it is transported to the Cuartel de la Montaña Parque in Madrid. The temple was donated to Spain by the Egyptian government to save it from flooding following the construction of the great Aswan Dam.
Work on the temple began in the early 2nd century BC under the orders of King Meroë Adijalamani, who built a chapel dedicated to the god Amun and the goddess Isis.
In the 6th century AD, after the Nubian conversion to Christianity, the temple was sealed and abandoned. In the 20th century, due to the construction of the dam, the Egyptian government gave the temple as a gift to the city of Madrid and it was transported and rebuilt stone by stone in its current location. It was opened to the public in 1972. The reconstruction of Madrid maintains the original orientation of the building; that is, from east to west.

CIBELES FOUNTAIN
The Fuente de Cibeles, created in 1782 and located in its current location since 1895, has ended up lending its name to one of the most emblematic squares in Madrid. It has also become a symbol of the capital. The fountain represents the Roman goddess of the same name (Cybele in English), symbol of the land, agriculture and fertility, on top of a chariot drawn by lions.
It is located in the center of the Plaza de Cibeles and is surrounded by the large buildings of the Buenavista Palace (Army General Headquarters), the Linares Palace (Casa de América), the Communications Palace (formerly the post office of the headquarters and currently the mayor of the Madrid office) and the Bank of Spain. The goddess and lions were sculpted in purple marble from the town of Montesclaros (Toledo), and the rest in stone from Redueña, an area 32 miles north of Madrid, near the Sierra de La Cabrera.
