Architecture of the New Kingdom

Ramesseum courtyard

Ramesseum courtyard

The design of Ramses's mortuary temple adheres to the standard canons of New Kingdom temple architecture. Oriented northwest and southeast, the temple itself comprised two stone pylons (gateways, some 60 m wide), one after the other, each leading into a courtyard.
