Baalbeck is the site of the most magnificent and best preserved Roman temples in the world.
The gigantic Acropolis was built between the 1st and 4th centuries AD, on the grounds of an ancient Phoenician temple dedicated to the worship of Baal, a semitic deity. The Roman adopted the Greek name of the town, Heliopolis (city of sun), and dedicated the new temples to the cults of Jupiter, Bacchus and Venus. |
