The Temple of Debod [1] (Spanish: Templo de Debod) is an ancient Nubian temple currently located in Madrid, Spain. The temple was originally erected in the early 2nd century BC 15 km (9.3 mi) south of Aswan , Egypt.
One of the monuments in the park is the Temple of Debod, an Ancient Egyptian temple. The Egyptian state donated the temple of Debod to Spain in 1968 as a sign of gratitude for the help provided by Spain in saving the Abu Simbel temples. The Parque del Oeste is linked to the Casa de Campo by the Teleférico de Madrid, a gondola lift. [1]
Over the years, the monument was moved to the Glorieta de Quevedo and, in the 1960s, [n. 1] to its current location in some gardens near the Plaza de España and, since the 1970s, also the Temple of Debod.

Conservationists are very concerned about - and have long criticised - the degradation the Temple is suffering due to Madrid's high levels of air pollution, but I haven't been able to find any references. Anyone? --Technopat 12:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC) Hi.
