Its intricate details and imposing structure leave visitors in awe, transporting them back to a time when gods were worshipped within its sacred walls. As you explore further, you will stumble upon the magnificent Temple of Jupiter. This colossal masterpiece is an architectural marvel that showcases the ingenuity and skill of its creators. The sheer size and grandiosity make it impossible not to be overwhelmed by its presence. Adjacent to it stands another gem - the Temple of Venus. With its graceful columns and delicate carvings, this temple exudes elegance and grace, and is a place where one can feel connected with both nature's beauty and divine energy. Immerse yourself in history as you gaze at sketches like "Temple of Jupiter, Baalbeck (w/c & pencil on paper)" or vintage photographs capturing moments from "Temple of Bacchus, Baalbek, Lebanon c1920s-c1930s (?).

Lastly, don't forget to visit the Roman Temple of Bacchus dating back to the 2nd century AD. Its well-preserved façade allows us to appreciate Roman craftsmanship at its finest while providing insight into their religious practices during that era.
