(86 km from Beirut) - Roman Temples


Qasr Naous is located on a High Plateau overlooking the Koura district.  Its two Temple sites are each with enclosures and well-preserved doorways. The reconstructed "eastern temple" has one wall intact and parts of two other walls.

The "western temple" has not been fully reconstructed, but its foundation and the tumbled columns and capitals show it was a large impressive structure. On this site is a damaged bust of the Roman sun god, Helios.
 


Getting There ...
From
Chekka take the main highway East passing through Amyoun until you reach Kousba.  From Kousba turn right and follow the road to Ain Aakrine. The temples are on the far side of the village.
