For the best preserved Roman temples you have to travel to Baalbek. The ruins will impress you in their magnitude, while you can also find delicate decorations in the stones.
Passing gigantic building blocks, you can discern some delicately carved stones both on the floor and still in their original place high above you. Instead of heading directly towards the Temple of Jupiter, it is worth exploring the Courts first. Once at the foot of the six remaining standing columns, you can grasp how enormous this temple must have been. From here, you can go down to the so-called Temple of Bacchus which, contrary to the Temple of Jupiter, is very well preserved and gives us a good idea how Roman temples must have looked like. In this temple, in the shadow of the Acropolis above it, you will find all walls and most columns standing, richly decorated portico, walls and ceiling.
