Roman Temple
(38 Km)
From Chtaura take the
Baalbeck road, passing through Zahle to Ablah. Choose the left
fork, turning left again at Beit Shama. Continue through Kfar
Dabash and Tarayah and make a left turn just beyond Nebi
Rashid. The road to the right leads to ruins which are located
on the left side.
Dated to the end of the first century AD,
this Roman temple carries a Latin dedication to Apollo. Thirty
meters from the temple is an inverted altar over two meters
high which has a beautifully-cut inscription and a garlanded
niche. |
