Baalbeck, seen here at night, is
perhaps the most spectacular archeological site in Lebanon, and it is among the
largest and best preserved set of Roman ruins in the world. No trip to
Lebanon is complete without a visit to this remarkable place. However,
the history of Baalbeck is not confined to the Roman conquests, for its
history dates back to the first millennium BCE. One of the difficulties
in appreciating such a site is to view it as a whole, rather than as a
series of individual photographs. Within the limitations of time, energy,
and bandwidth, we have tried to recreate a short tour of Baalbeck that
gives the armchair traveler some sense of the spatial perspective that
contributes to the grandeur of the spot. Click
