Ancient Temple in Lebanon

Sanctuary in the montains East of Jounieh which is in better shape than most in Lebanon on account of restorations and the remoteness of the site. There is a Temple of Atargatis as well other Roman era temples and Cenotaphs. The cult of Adonis was particularly well entrenched here.
