850 LB - Ouadi Qadisha (the Holy Valley) and the Forest of the Cedars of God (Horsh Arz el-Rab) (1998)

Brief Description

"The Qadisha valley is one of the most important early Christian monastic settlements in the world. Its monasteries, many of which are of a great age, stand in dramatic positions in a rugged landscape. Nearby are the remains of the great forest of cedars of Lebanon, highly prized in antiquity for the construction of great religious buildings."

夸底•夸底沙(圣谷)和神杉林

"圣谷是基督教早期世界上最重要的修道士聚居地。它的许多修道院年代已十分久远，引人注目地坐落在崎岖不平的地形中，附近是黎巴嫩山林遗址，这里的树木为古代宗教建筑提供了优质的木材。"

299 LB - Tyre (1984)

Brief Description

"According to legend, purple dye was invented in Tyre. This great Phoenician city ruled the seas and founded prosperous colonies such as Cadiz and Carthage, but its historical role declined at the end of the Crusades. There are important archaeological remains, mainly from Roman times."

提尔城

"传说认为提尔城是紫色颜料的诞生地。它曾是最雄伟的腓尼基城市，当时腓尼基人统治着一些海域，建立了像卡地兹和迦太基这样繁荣的殖民地。它的历史地位在十字军东征之后逐步衰落，但仍保留了许多主要是罗马时期的重要的考古遗物。"

293 LB - Anjar (1984)

Brief Description

"The city of Anjar was founded by Caliph Walid I at the beginning of the 8th century. The ruins reveal a very regular layout, reminiscent of the palace-cities of ancient times, and are a unique testimony to city planning under the Umayyads."

安杰尔

"安杰尔是由卡利夫·瓦利德一世于8世纪初设计建立的城市。其废墟表明，其整体布局井井有条，使人联想起古代的宫殿，如今，安贾尔成为倭马亚城市规划设计的唯一见证。"

295 LB - Byblos (1984)

Brief Description

"The ruins of many successive civilizations are found at Byblos, one of the oldest Phoenician cities. Inhabited since Neolithic times, it has been closely linked to the legends and history of the Mediterranean region for thousands of years. Byblos is also directly associated with the history and diffusion of the Phoenician alphabet."

比布鲁斯

"比布鲁斯是黎巴嫩最古老的城市之一，在那里发现了许多连续的文明废墟。它从新石器时代就开始有人居住，与数千年来地中海地区的传奇和历史紧密联系在一起。同时比布鲁斯也与腓尼基字母表的发展传播息息相关。"

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。"
