The Temple of Debod in Madrid in a Comparison between Spain and Italy ¿Desplazar monumentos? El templo de Debod en Madrid en una comparación entre España e Italia Reflecting on the destiny of the Temple of Debod is a great opportunity to ruminate on the relationship we now have with our past. Aspects addressed in this article are, of course, the temple above all else, but also the contemporary city as a holder of rights and the place where residents participate. The most interesting factor is that the case of the Egyptian temple in Madrid is actually quite unique: it is a monument that no longer has any context, 1 and so it is impossible to talk about an 'open-air

The area stayed uninhabited until the Nineteenth Century, but the ancient episcopal seat of Porto, whose holders had a prominent role in the Roman Curia, is still existing. For this reason the monumental complex is the result of the sum of many architectural works and constitutes a complex of considerable interest. The palace was originally a medieval castrum that belonged to the Stefaneschi family. During a trip to Ostia, Pope Pius II perceives the archaeological and strategic relevance of the site. Shortly thereafter, Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia restored the fortress and transformed it into an elegant residence with large cross windows (1476). The church of S. Lucia – cathedral of the episcopal seat - was rebuilt by Cardinal Ascanio Della Corgna (1582), but a decisive renewal took place with Cardinal Flavio Chigi, who made use of the work of Carlo Fontana (1689-91). Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni added a chapel and built a new facade to the palace, equipping it with a monumental staircase (Domenico Gregorini and Pietro Passalacqua, 1737). With Cardinal Bartolomeo Pacca (1821) the palace became the seat of a collection of fragments of ancient sculptures.

The attention to the documentary value of the monument is decisive, leading to the formation of a class of specialists, under the auspices of Boito first and Giovannoni then. This will lead the restoration to become alternative and sometimes hostile to modern design and planning. As a whole, the propensity to conservation is strengthened, in a trend that remains, however, in the context of stylistic restoration.
