Interior of the Temple of Esne (Esna)
in Upper Egypt

There is scarcely a more beautiful example than this Temple of the Ptolemaic period of Egyptian architecture......The walls in front of the portico are seen on the left, ...the door in the centre, by which it is entered, is level with the external ground, and from it a flight of steps descends to the floor of the portico.
