This kind of temple was a gift from Egypt for the Spanish help of saving the famous Egyptian temple Abu Simbel on the western shore of the Nil river.
In this regard “Templo de Debod” is the oldest building of Madrid, althought it was not raised there. The old Egyptian temple exists since 200 BC, and was brought to Madrid in 1972.
