The largest and most magnificent ancient Roman temple ruins in the world are not in Rome but in Lebanon!

The largest and most magnificent ancient Roman temple ruins in the world are not in Rome but in Lebanon! From the moment you enter the gate, the stairs at the entrance are very impressive. A series of huge stone reliefs with Phoenician characteristics come into view. We will pass by the altar first. The piles of scattered rubble are disorderly, but they also reveal a sense of age. You can imagine how shocking it was when these huge rocks were piled up. - 【Temple of Jupiter】 The six remaining stone pillars of the Temple of Jupiter are one of the most conspicuous symbols of the Temple of Baalbek. The giant pillars are 20 meters high and 2.3 meters in diameter. They are the largest solid stone pillars in the world. No matter where you stand, the six stone pillars are as majestic as a god. There are many lion heads carved on the beams. You may not be able to see them clearly when standing under the stone pillars, but there are many stone pillar fragments scattered on the ground. I couldn’t help but take a picture of the clear stone lions on them. They are so beautiful that I can’t speak. I was thinking about how such a sacred temple could be built in that ancient era without any modern handling technology. - 【Bacchus Temple】 The Bacchus Temple is also a Corinthian building. The Bacchus Temple is quite well preserved. When I stood in the main hall and looked around, its majestic momentum was awe-inspiring. Its details made me stare at it for a long time. I looked up at the huge stone reliefs on the vault, which were carved with various grains, vegetables, and grapes. They were rich and lifelike. - 【Temple of Venus】 Although the Temple of Venus is now in ruins, it is not included in the paid scenic spots. It is a free viewing area at the door. - 🎫Tickets: $5 for two people for local talents, But foreigners need to pay 12 US dollars per person💲
