Temple of Bacchus (Roman's god of Wine) in Tripoli

Very impressive temple, and I have seen a lot of them.

It’s a majestic experience being there. Go early so you are alone in this trillion dollar property!

WOW. This site is excellent. I could spend all day here. 🏛🤯

it was fun and knowledgeable place

Nice view but closes at 6:30

The temple of Bacchus is the most preserved roman temple in the world! And it was inscribed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. Amazing history and old architecture located in Baalbek Lebanon 🇱🇧

Beautiful historical landmark that is worth visiting. Its a wonderful place!

Majestic temple with exquisite details. A big part of the ancient structure is still standing which is extremely impressive.

Lovely ruinsBachus temple is amazingHuge size and very good conditionHighly recommended.

Baalbeck international festivals is one of the most entertaining and cultural festivals in the world !

Bacchus Temple is located in the present-day Lebanese city of Baalbek, which is surrounded by a series of smaller temples in the Baalbek complex. This whole site was built in the 2nd century SCN under Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius. Bacchus Temple is one of the tallest temples the Romans have ever built, with an impressive height of 20m. Today, Bacchus Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Breathtaking place. Must visit . Surprising how an old civilisation can build such as huge and fantastic temple full of art.

I was looking at Baalbek with Satellite when i noticed patterns on theCoast, the land is in the shape of a Bearded Man, are there any famous beared men from ancient times, maybe in Heliopolis

What an amazing place! We came and had no tour guide, but found one on site. He was amazing, see our pictures. You will not regret coming here. Note the ball back is an extremely dangerous place. However, we made it through OK. We did not go to the souvenir shops which seems sketchy. These are rebuilt! Like a puzzle!

Whatever the name Bakhus, Dionisious, or god of wine, we are addressing the same God and the greatest temple all over the world…. A place to enjoy and experience

I went here back in 2013.It’s well preserved and the architecture is AMAZING!!!You’ll likely see members of Hezbollah if you’re in the area.

This structure is important as it expresses the distinguished and artistic aspect of Roman architecture and is a part of the Baalbek temple complex.It is a historical temple that was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984...

Roman God of wine..Although it is sometimes called "the small temple", it is larger (and better preservedthan the Parthenon in Athens. (The sanctuary in Baalbek is 36 meters wide and 69 meters long, while the temple in Athens measures 31 x 69 meters.Being eight columns wide and fifteen columns deep, the Lebanese temple is one of the largest of Antiquity, but still, it is dwarfed by the temple of Jupiter next to it.

Its an intriguing site to visit sans the wine that used to flow... Its a risk to visit considering the entity controlling the area. Been several times and it is a lot to take in.

has a good history, a beautiful place and is also suitable as a tourist destination

Very nice place, great roman history

A 48 column majestic temple to worship the god of wine.details in roof and columns to foundation are impressive.the gate of the temple is simply one of the most beautiful in the world and reminds us how the roman era was spectacular.

Absolutely amazing dont come here and not visit the temple of Bacchus.

Entrance fees for lebanese and arabs 10,000 LL, and 10$ for non arabs, One of the most magnificent heritage site in Lebanon in the famous ruins of baalbeck, a mist visit and worth the distance

Maybe the best historical landmarks in the world! At least what you feel there is magical; even if you visit once a year for so many years!

A must see. Roman greatness. All hail Bacchus and his wine.

Breathtaking temple, do not miss it if youre visiting Lebanon! You wont be disappointed

Best Roman temple conserved around the world

Amazing. I was overwhelmed. The best ever ruins was Ive ever seen. And Ive seen many. A must visit.

I can say it, better than Rome!

Unforgettable memories here - it was my birthday and my group of friends starting singing happy birthday as a surprise in the middle of the temple! Remarkable acoustics and as you enter it’s imposing archway you cannot help but be transported back - imagining the magnificent statues, dimly lit with oil lamps and the opulent with polished marble, gold and mosaics.

The entry fees for students are 10,000 Lebanese pounds. The complex has very clean public toilets with water, toilet paper and soap. You will need around 3 hours to really enjoy all the ruins and temples and don’t forget the museum, which is included in the price and is located on the Bacchus Temple.

Words fail. Stunning, stupendous, iconic...for a start. The crown jewel of the Roman Heliopolis site. The temple of Bacchus was a marvel of beauty the Romans bequeathed to all man kind. She is in good shape and beckons all lovers of classical splendor. O Rome we have forgotten about beauty in architecture but your example implores us today. Baalbek is not to be missed.

A must visit for all visiting Lebanon. You can walk among the columns inside. Take your time and savour the grandeur.

Absolutely a must go! Nowhere on earth you will see almost no people on site of a Roman ruins and you can touch everything!On the way you will be 20 min away from Damaskus and maybe see a tank!People there including the soldiers are so nice and obviously terrorists are selling souvenirs!

Amazing temple architecture and design. It shows the power of ancient engineering. Recommend to take guide for tour. Worth visiting the place.

Amazing temple ...this place can give u chills inside

What an incredible place to visit. I recommend to take a guide (about 1hto understand the origin, the evolutions, and the complexity of the place. Our guide was Fahmi: crazy, funny and super interesting. We recommend him :D

Amazingly well preserved, all things considered. An amazing place!

Its a fantastic place!

Best kept ruins in the world. This temple is massive a do not miss when you visit Lebanon!

You can look at the pictures all day long, but you cannot truly appreciate the scope and scale of this place until you visit the site.Some of the largest structures of the ancient world were built here. Just imagining the skills and abilities of the architects and craftsman who labored there is mind boggling. How did they move these huge stones? How did they construct this place to such precise tolerances?Go early in the day. It will take several hours to explore and appreciate this place if you have an interest.Be cautious of the street venders they are very persistent and can be rude. Bring your own water. The venders will charge an inflated price and there is nothing once you are inside the complex.

Amazing place, needs a little more attention

Love the double row of columns!! I suspect this was one of the greatest nightclubs of the ancient world.

One of the biggest roman cities/temples in the ancient world. Located some 90 km from Beirut. The sceneries on the road going there are breathtaking, spring time is beautiful in the bekaa area. This time we used a different trajectory going from Bikfaya and were very surprised that the roads are new and we reached the bekaa quickly. Visiting the ruins will take time, its a very huge city! The entrance fees are 10000LL for lebanese nationals and 15000 LL for foreigners.

Incredible size and wonderful documentation of the site. $20 for a tour guide

Visit the quarry of Baalbek where youll see the world largest carved stone. Approx 1,200 mT

Stunning, well worth the trip from Beirut. Beautiful old temple in great condition. Some of the columns have collapsed, taking parts of the roof with it. These parts can be seen on the ground, and give a glimpse of the fine carving and details in the ceilings and edge work.

I went with a local tour bus from Beirut. I loved this place. So much history. You can drive to Baalbak in your car but I highly recommend a tour bus. Especially if your not familiar with the area. The guide also helps explain the story of the 3 temples.

Breathtaking size and architecture. Extremely photogenic temple. Must see in Lebanon.
