Middle East Trip 2003: Syria | Lebanon | Jordan | Palestine The Palestinian-Israeli conflict Travelogue
Baalbeck
The temples of Baalbeck are, without a doubt, one of the architectural wonders of Middle East. The six columns that still stand from the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Baccus and the lion heads don't leave anyone dissapointed, because of its size and beaty. It's amazing the conservation state of the Temple of Baccus compared with its counterparts in Greece and Italy.
