In thos blog we are going to visit Baalbak, the city of sun,and Beirut two important cities in Lebanon.Baalbek , ancient city, now in Lebanon, 35 mi (56 km) NW of Damascus, in the Al Bekaa valley. Originally it was probably devoted to the worship of Baal or Bel, the Phoenician sun god, although no traces of an early Phoenician settlement have survived. The Greeks called the city Heliopolis [city of the sun]. It became very prominent in Roman days and was made a separate colony by Augustus. Both Greek and Roman architects employed their genius on Baalbek's buildings. Among the most imposing Roman remains are the temple of Bacchus  and the temple of Jupiter. The city was sacked by invaders and was destroyed by an earthquake in 1759.
