Following in the tradition of the pharaohs before her, the queen ensured that here mortuary temple would be a masterpiece. It is located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings. The spectacular colonnaded structure is built directly into the cliff face, and has many terraces that were once planted with lush gardens. The temple set a trend for the pharaohs who followed, and was in part responsible for the growth of the Valley of the Kings as their preferred burial location.
