yes amazing site, 10/10
it does include more facilities then the temple itself,
1800 years old from the time of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus.
this site is remarkably complete and almost untouched as other Roman sites and tempels are destroyed in that region.

Baalbeck, Lebanon's greatest Roman treasure, can be counted among the wonders of the ancient world. The largest and most noble Roman temples ever built, they are also among the best preserved.
Towering high above the Beqaa plain, their monumental proportions proclaimed the power and wealth of Imperial Rome. The gods worshipped here, the Triad of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, were grafted onto the indigenous deities of Hadad, Atargatis and a young male god of fertility. Local influences are also seen in the planning and layout of the temples, which vary from the classic Roman design.
