The remains of Siwa's second temple of Amun, built by King Nectanebo II of the Thirtieth Dynasty in the 4th century BC a few hundred metres south of the Oracle Temple, to which a processional way once linked it. It stood until the late 19th century, when a local official blew it up to reuse its stones for building, per visitor guides. All that is left is a single standing wall amid scattered blocks among the palms. That wall, though, carries fine raised reliefs and hieroglyphs, including a local ruler of the oasis kneeling before Amun with a procession of gods behind him, some traces of colour still visible. There is no ticket on the ministry list, and a visit is usually free and short. Combine it with the nearby Oracle Temple; it is easy to reach by bicycle or donkey cart from Siwa town.
