(Roman
Temple
48
km)
Situated
northeast
of
Baalbeck
above
a
deep
and
very
pretty
valley,
the
slopes
of
this
village
are
studded
with
the
familiar
burial
chambers
often
found
near
Roman/Byzantine
sites.
The
massive
foundation
stones
of
Nahle'
s
Roman
temple
suggest
that
a
mighty
structure
once
stood
here.
This
sanctuary
consisted
of
two
parts:
an
open
air
court
and
a
large
room
with
a
ceiling
where
notches
for
the
wooden
beam
still
exist.
Only
a
few
courses
of
stone
are
still
standing,
but
the
temple
maintains
its
dignity
despite
crowding
by
modern
village
residences. |
