One of the oldest cities in the world, Byblos has a fascinating collection of traces of 17 civilisations in the Mediterranean.
Roman Corinthian columns, proudly poiting towards the sky, lead up to the temple of Balaat Gebal, the Lady of Byblos, behind which you can find the King's Well. Here was, since neolithic times, a spring, the source of water for Byblos and probably one of the reasons Byblos was able to survive all those centuries. From here, you can then visit the obelisk temple, the ancient city gate, and the Crusader's Castle. This gives you a good vantage point to overview all the ruins, and the remains of the enormously thick city wall.
