Dedicated to the highest God, the Temple of Bel is an impressive monument to religion.
The temple is found in the middle of a larger courtyard. An impressive number of columns are still standing, or have been erected by reconstruction works in recent times. Many columns are finely decorated at their top. But a lot of fallen parts of columns lie everywhere. I felt admiration for those workers working under the scorching sun on further reconstruction of the complex.
