(Roman Temple
20 km)
From
Chtaura take the Baalbeck road, turning left at Ablah. the
Qsarnaba road is on the left and is well-marked. The temple,
found at the upper part of the village, has been partly
restored and is notable for the monumental staircase on the
east side. This is one of the Lebanese temples which has
pilasters along the external walls.
The brightly colored minaret of the village
mosque appears through the stark columns of the Roman temple
in another picturesque display of modern and ancient
coexistence. |
