Archaeology and history in Lebanon at the ruins of Baalbek
Baalbek, located in the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon, is an ancient city known for its majestic Roman ruins. The Baalbek archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses some of the best-preserved and largest Roman temples in the world. The temple complex includes the imposing Temple of Jupiter, the exquisitely decorated Temple of Bacchus, and the mystical Temple of Venus. These monuments, built between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD, are a testament to the grandeur and architectural skill of the Roman Empire. Visitors can stroll among the giant columns and intricate reliefs, exploring the rich history that permeates every stone of this ancient sanctuary.
