• Baalbek - Baalbek is renowned for the Baalbek temple complex, which features two of the most significant and magnificent Roman temple ruins: the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984. This ancient Phoenician city, where a triad of deities was revered, was known as Heliopolis during the Hellenistic era. It maintained its religious significance during Roman times, with the sanctuary of the Heliopolitan Jupiter drawing thousands of pilgrims. Baalbek, with its monumental structures, stands as one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its peak.
• Temples of Baalbek - The temple complex at Baalbek is situated at the base of the southwest slope of Anti-Lebanon, adjacent to the fertile Bekaa plain at an elevation of 1150 meters. The city of Baalbek flourished during Roman times. Its massive constructions, developed over more than two centuries, make it one of the most renowned sanctuaries of the Roman world and a model of Imperial Roman architecture. Pilgrims flocked to the sanctuary to honor the three deities, known as the Romanized Triad of Heliopolis, a primarily Phoenician cult (Jupiter, Venus, and Bacchus).
• Sayyida Khawla Shrine - The Mosque of Sayyida Khawla in Baalbek, Lebanon, is built on the site where Sayyida Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is believed to be buried. The people of Baalbek hold that when the caravan of Karbala captives passed through Baalbek, Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, passed away and was interred there.
• Stone of the Pregnant Woman - The Stone of the Pregnant Woman is a crafted Roman monolith in Baalbek, Lebanon. Alongside another ancient stone block nearby, it ranks among the largest monoliths ever quarried. These two building blocks were likely intended for the nearby Roman temple complex and are noted for their unparalleled monolithic gigantism in antiquity.
