Qasr Chbib

The archaeological site consists of two temples with northern walls carved directly from solid bedrock near the summit of Mount Hermon.

The temples were constructed between 150 and 300 CE during the Roman period, marking the religious importance of Mount Hermon in ancient times.

The temples reflect Roman architectural techniques while incorporating local building methods, evidenced by the integration of natural rock formations into the structures.

The site remains open for visitors and researchers to examine the architectural elements and religious practices of ancient Roman civilizations in Lebanon.

The western temple features a distinctive back area replacing the traditional Adyton, completely hewn from the natural rock escarpment.
