Temple of Bacchus, Baalbek, Lebanon

I took this in 2000. It was my on my first trip to Beirut and our hosts, The Daily Star newspaper, took us to Baalbek, the site of what was once Heliopolis (not to be confused with the other Heliopolis in Egypt).

The Temple of Bacchus is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. It is one of the best preserved Roman buildings in the world.
