Ramesseum - Pylon

The temple is entered at the east end by a large Pylon 220ft/67m wide, the exterior of which is badly ruined. The reliefs on the inner side are in a fair state of preservation; they are best seen by afternoon light, preferably with the aid of field glasses. They relate to Ramesses's Syrian campaigns, in particular his war with the Hittites in the fifth year of his reign.
