Mortuary Temple of Seti I: Raking view of remaining colonnade of inner court

Of the lesser temples of western Thebes, one of the best-preserved temples of the 19th Dynasty is that of Sethos I [Seti I, died 1279 BCE] near the modern village of Qurna. It included a palace and magazine buildings within the temple's enclosure walls, a practice that survived into the reign of Ramesses III, who built his temple at Medinet Habu.
