Egypt for a Day

One of Medellín’s hidden gems is the Egyptian palace in the center of the city. Fernando Estrada was Medellín’s first optometrist who greatly admired the Egyptian culture. After two trips to Egypt, he decided to create his own version of a temple at home in honor of his wife. Construction began in 1928 and became a family affair as two of Estradas’ 14 children brought back artifacts from Egypt to incorporate into the home.
