85 km north east of
Beirut,
is Lebanon's greatest Roman treasure, which can be counted
among the wonders of the ancient world.
Baalbeck is the embodiment of
the superlative. It is one of the world's greatest
historical and best preserved Roman sites; the most
gigantic, largest and most noble complex of Roman temples
ever built, its columns are the taller ever erected, its
stones are the largest ever used.

Over the
centuries Baalbeck's monuments suffered from theft, war and
earthquakes, as well as from numerous medieval additions.
Fortunately, the modern visitor can see the site in
something close to its original form thanks to work in the
past hundred years by German, French and Lebanese
archaeologists.
