2013 西班牙葡萄牙自駕之旅 Day 12 (3) Madrid 我哋又食Buffet~~

睇完我哋就去睇呢個Temple of Debod 埃及德寶神殿先，呢個神殿係埃及1968送咗俾西班牙嘅，但係我哋所睇到嘅都係淨返一小部份嘅遺跡，呢個景點係免費參觀架。我哋去到個時重要排隊輪候入去參觀添架，不過入面要睇嘅嘢唔多，同埋都幾細同窄，有孭背囊嘅人要將佢放係前面。

The Temple of Debod (Spanish: Templo de Debod) is an ancient Egyptian temple which was rebuilt in Madrid, Spain.

The temple was built originally 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Aswan in southern Egypt very close to the first cataract of the Nile and to the great religious center dedicated to the goddess Isis, in Philae. In the early 2nd century BC,Adikhalamani (Tabriqo), the Kushite king of Meroë, started its construction by building a small single room chapel dedicated to the god Amun.It was built and decorated on a similar design to the later Meroitic chapel on which the Temple of Dakka is based. Later, during the reigns of Ptolemy VI, Ptolemy VIII and Ptolemy XII of the Ptolemaic dynasty, it was extended on all four sides to form a small temple, 12 by 15 metres (39 × 49 ft), which was dedicated to Isis of Philae. TheRoman emperors Augustus and Tiberius completed its decorations.

From the quay there is a long processional way leading to the stone-built enclosure wall, through three stone pylon gateways and finally to the temple itself. The pronaos, which had four columns with composite capitals collapsed in 1868, and is now lost. Behind it lay the original sanctuary of Amun, the offering table room and a later sanctuary with several side-rooms and stairs to the roof.

 In 1960, due to the construction of the Great Dam of Aswan and the consequent threat posed to several monuments and archeological sites, UNESCO made an international call to save this rich historical legacy. As a sign of gratitude for the help provided by Spain in saving the temples of Abu Simbel, the Egyptian state donated the temple of Debod to Spain in 1968.

The temple was rebuilt in one of Madrid's parks, the Parque del Oeste, near the Royal Palace of Madrid, and opened to the public in 1972. The reassembled gateways appear to have been placed in a different order than when originally erected. Compared to a photo of the original site, the gateway topped by a serpent flanked sun appears not to have been the closest gateway to the temple proper. It constitutes one of the few works of ancient Egyptian architecture which can be seen outside Egypt and the only one of its kind in Spain.

參觀完呢個神殿，我哋就去睇馬德里嘅西班牙廣場，呢個廣場都幾細，影咗幾張相我哋就走人啦。

西班牙廣場（Plaza de España）是西班牙馬德里市中心的一個大型廣場和熱門旅遊目的地，位於格蘭維亞大道（Gran Vía）的西端。馬德里王宮在廣場南面不遠處。

西班牙廣場的中心是米格爾·德·塞萬提斯紀念碑，包括上方的塞萬提斯石雕，前方的堂吉訶德和桑丘·潘沙銅像，以及代表堂吉訶德真愛的兩尊石像：平凡的村姑阿爾東沙•羅任索和想像中美麗的杜爾西內婭·台爾·托波索。大部分修建於1925年到1930年，1957年完成。

廣場上有馬德里最高的兩座建築：142米高的馬德里塔（Torre de Madrid，建於1957年）和117米高的西班牙大樓（Edificio España，建於1953年）。

交通

地鐵的西班牙廣場站位於廣場的東部，3號線和10號線經過此站。

歷史

《1808年5月3日》，弗朗西斯科·戈雅描繪在今天廣場的地點發生的槍殺事件

1808年，這裡是普林西皮奧山的一部分，法國行刑隊在此槍殺5月2日起義的參與者。

之後我哋就搭Metro去格蘭大道站個到搵食，原先就搵咗幾間平價嘢食嘅(D平價嘢都要成EUR$10一個人)，咁啱路過一間寫住有中餐同日餐嘅食店，我哋就入去睇下有咩食先。

睇到有壽司同埋一D中式嘢食，每位都係EUR$8.5重要無加一喎，我哋就決定食呢一間啦，我哋重叫咗一揸 Sangria飲添。

食完呢個美味嘅Lunch之後，我哋就繼續市內觀光啦，但係今朝我哋係太陽門廣場睇嘢個時，唔見到有「熊與石楠樹」雕像，於是我哋就返去太陽門廣場到搵下啦，搵到然後就影下相咁。

咁啱途經一間Loccitane，就入去睇下啦，D嘢標價平過香港，所以都買咗唔少嘢，因為平過香港。

之後我哋就搭Metro去睇呢個鬥牛場，呢個鬥牛場可以入去參觀，因為佢都係一個博物館，不過我哋都係係出面影相就算。

之後我哋就返咗酒店休息，今晚就整埋之前用淨嘅食材來做晚餐，然後就休息喇。聽日我哋就會去 Zaragoza ，其實佢係一個中途站，因為如果由Madrid去Barcelona個車 程要成8個幾 鐘，比較長，所以就係呢到住一日先~~但係去呢到其實都要成差不多三個鐘架…
