The Temple of Ellesyia is an Ancient Egyptian rock-cut temple built by Pharao Thutmosis III near the site of Qasr Ibrim. It was dedicated to Amun, Horus and Satis.
During the Nubian monument salvage campaign guided by the UNESCO in the 1960s the temple was moved to the Museo Egizio at Turin in order to save it from being submerged by Lake Nasser.
