Medinet Habu - 18th Dynasty Temple First Court

Along the east side of the pylon, facing the First Court (130ft/39.60m long, 83ft/25.40m wide), was a colonnade, which had columns with rich floral capitals and high screens. Only the two central columns have been preserved. In front of one of the screens is a false door of red granite dating from the time of Tuthmosis III which was found in the pavement of the first pylon. The gateways into the court are now walled up; on the one to the south is an inscription in the name of the Emperor Antoninus Pius.
