Roman Temples ofthe Bkaa Valley

The fertile Bkaa Valley stretches between the Mount Lebanon chain

to the west and the Anti-Lebanon mountains to the east. Throughout

history, the valley has been a major crossroad between northern

Syria and Palestine, and between the Mediterranean coast and the

interior. This favorable geographic situation has encouraged humansettlement in the valley since ancient times. Today, the cities and

villages of the Bkaa still preserve the remains of the people who

lived there centuries ago. Roman temples, Islamic structures, and

archaeological sites dating from many different historical periods

transform the valley into a virtual open-air museum. It would be

impossible to describe all the Roman temples of the Bkaa Valley.

This brochure will focus on five of the most significant sites: Fourzol,

Niha, Hosn Niha, Temnine El-Faouqa and Qsarnaba.
