Trip to BAALBEK the City of the Sun ☀️
In June I had the chance to travel to Lebanon and visit one of the ancient cities in the world.
Baalbek is also known as the City of the Sun.
It is located in the beqaa valley in Lebanon(3000 ft above sea level) and holds some of the world's greatest historical and best preserved Roman sites. Its remains include a gigantic complex of Roman temples with the tallest columns ever erected.
The Roman gods were worshipped in its Acropolis (constructed between 1st –3rd Century AD). In Jupiter Temple, only six columns remain out of the 54 giant columns that originally surrounded the sanctuary. The temple was built over a Phoenician podium dating from around 3000 BC.
