It was the main place of worship for the god Amun-Re and is part of the monumental city of Thebes. With its vast mix of temples, pylons, chapels, and other buildings, Karnak is a popular historical site, attracting numerous visitors. The complex consists of four main parts, with the Precinct of Amun-Re being the most well-known.
