Temple of Bacchus Baalbek photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Among the extensive remains at Baalbeck, the Temple of Bacchus is particularly well preserved. It is, in fact, the best preserved Roman temple of this size anywhere. Yet curiously, very little is know about the dedication and purpose of this building.
Its peristyle of forty-two unfluted Corinthian columns
(nineteen still standing) embraces sturdily preserved exterior walls.
