The Templo de Debod

If you’re not from Madrid, you’ve probably never Heard of the Cuartel de la Montaña park (Barracks on the Mountain park), or know its location, for that matter, but I’m sure you’ve heard of the Templo de Debod (Debod Temple).

This landscaped area of the city is best known for the Egyptian temple that was brought there at the beginning of the 1970s, as a gift from the Egyptian government for Spain’s collaboration in the rescue of some of the monuments in the Abu Simbel region.

Located close to Plaza de España, right next to the Parque del Oeste, this particular park got its name from an old barracks that was on the hill during the middle of the 19th century and later gained its prominence during the Spanish Civil War, being the first confinement in the city where the military uprising took place.


The Cuartel de la Montaña park, in addition to offering the attractive option of visiting an Egyptian mortuary temple in Madrid, offers one of the best panoramic lookout points in the entire city. From the top of the hill you have a great view of the west side of Madrid and, in particular, all the unrefined nature found in Casa del Campo.

Make sure to visit at night, as it has a beautiful sunset and the temple’s lights reflect off of the pool surrounding it. By far, a must on your site seeing trip across Madrid.

The Templo de Debod can be seen Tuesday to Friday, from 10 AM to 2 PM and from 6 PM to 8 PM (from October to April from 9:45 AM to 1:45 PM and from 4:15 PM to 6:15 PM) and Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM. Entrance is free.
