Today we visited the ancient Roman city of Baalbek (Heliopolis - Sun City)
The center of the site is composed of two massive temples as well as smaller courtyards and fountains.
The larger of the two temples, dedicated Jupiter (A.D. 60) is 90 meters long with some of the largest columns (only 6 still standing) in the world.
The second, smaller temple, dedicated to Venus (A.D. 150) which is still very large, is much better preserved.
