294 LB - Baalbek (1984)

Brief Description

"This Phoenician city, where a triad of deities was worshipped, was known as Heliopolis during the Hellenistic period. It retained its religious function during Roman times, when the sanctuary of the Heliopolitan Jupiter attracted thousands of pilgrims. Baalbek, with its colossal structures, is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee."

巴勒贝克

"这座腓尼基人的城市在希腊时期以太阳神而闻名，这里供奉了三座神灵。巴勒贝克保留了罗马时代的宗教性，那时太阳神朱庇特神殿吸引了成千上万的朝圣者。巴勒贝克以其庞大复杂的建筑结构成为罗马帝国建筑的典范。"
