Kalabsha - Temple of Kertassi
A little way north of the Kalabsha Temple is the small Temple of Kertassi, also transferred here from its original site, some 20mi/30km farther south. Only 25ft/8m square, it is very similar to the Kiosk at Philae. It is in much ruin, preserving only two Hathor columns at the entrance (which faces north) and four other columns with elaborate floral capitals and a single monolithic architrave.
