The Glorious Story of Castles

The Glorious Story of Castles Carriers of myths and legends, castles strongly mark our imaginations, appearing most often as the pivot of a dark and barbaric period. Reality is different.

Philae, the Last Temples of Ancient Egypt

Baptized "the pearl of the Nile", this sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis is the masterful work of the last pharaohs of Egypt and the Roman emperors who succeeded them. Sacred land, Philae has continued to develop. Over nearly seven centuries, it has acquired remarkable buildings whose imposing architecture is an offering to the gods of the Nile, as well as a symbol of authority for the pharaohs who reigned over the region. Adorned with the gods and pharaohs who venerated them, the temples of Philae transport us to the last hours of Ancient Egypt.
