Construction
The temple seems to have been constructed toward the end of the reign of Seti, and may have been completed by his son Ramesses the Great after his death.[2] One of the chambers contains a shrine dedicated to Seti's father Ramesses I, who reigned a little under two years, and did not construct a mortuary temple for himself.
Current condition
The entire court and any pylons associated with the site are now in ruins, and much of the eastern part of the complex is buried under the modern town of Qurna.
