the temple ruins of baalbek

the temple ruins of baalbek, overlooking the snow covered mountains and the stunning bekaa valley of lebanon is garanteed to take your breath away – at least mine. keep in mind that it is very chilly during winter – don’t leave from beirut in a t-shirt and sandals.

one of the ruins once aspired to be the the largest temple in the entire roman empire. although never completed and marked by the ravages of time and lebanon’s violent history, the six gigantic columns that are left today make a pretty impressive sight.
