The central city of Akhetaton, established by Akhenaten at the site now known as Tell el-Amarna, featured the Great Temple of the Aton as its most prominent religious structure.1

This temple was characterized by a series of walled courts that led to a main sanctuary designed as a completely open-air space, reflecting the king's focus on the sun disk. While the Great Temple was the largest, the city's layout—reconstructed by archaeologists through excavations and depictions on tomb walls—included various other royal and religious buildings situated along the Royal Road. Following the city's abandonment, these temples were largely disassembled, with many stone blocks later reused by Ramses II for construction projects at nearby Hermopolis.1
