Ancient Temple in Lebanon
Ancient temple of Baal Marqod, who was later assimilated to Poseidon on account of being responsible for earthquakes. Much later, the temple was to a large extent incorporated into the St. John the Baptist Monastery.
There are Roman ruins a couple of hundred meters to the North East.
