Greco-Roman temple dedicated to Knuhm, Satis and Ankhet. The Greeks built the temple and the Romans finished all the reliefs, including the cartouches of many 1st and 2nd century emperors.
Only the Hypostyle Hall is visible, the rest of the temple and pylon is presumed to be buried under the town on account of accumulation of sand and sylt. In ancient times, the town was called Sene, or "collection of cotton area." An earlier New Kingdom temple to Thutmose I was destroyed to build this temple.
