Situated in the lush Beqaa Valley, the Acropolis is a mesmerizing archaeological site that transports us back in time to the Roman and Greek eras. The grandeur of the ancient ruins is evident in the colossal stone blocks that form the temples, some of which are believed to be the largest ever quarried and transported in the ancient world. The most prominent structure in the image is the Temple of Jupiter, dedicated to the king of the Roman gods. The temple's impressive Corinthian columns, each standing over 10 meters tall, are a testament to the advanced engineering and architectural prowess of the ancient civilizations.
