We present a mosaic of five XMM-Newton observations of the
nearby (z=0.0594) merging galaxy cluster Abell 3266. We use the
spectro-imaging capabilities of XMM-Newton to build precise (projected)
temperature, entropy, pressure and Fe abundance maps. The temperature
map exhibits a curved, large-scale hot region, associated with
elevated entropy levels, very similar to that foreseen in numerical
simulations. The pressure distribution is disturbed in the central
region but is remarkably regular on large scales. The Fe abundance map
indicates that metals are inhomogeneously distributed across the
cluster. Using simple physical calculations and comparison with
numerical simulations, we discuss in detail merging scenarios that
can reconcile the observed gas density, temperature and entropy
structure, and the galaxy density distribution
