Temple of Horus - Ascent

An ascent to the top of the pylon is very well worth the trouble. A staircase on the south side of the forecourt has 242 easy steps in 14 flights. The staircase and the small chambers, which open off the landings, are lit by windows. The staircases in the two towers are connected with one another by a passage running above the central doorway, and in each tower is a door giving access to the roof of the colonnades round the forecourt.
