Dedicated to the highest God, the Temple of Bel is an impressive monument to religion.
The temple itself can only be entered through a beautifully decorated entrance gate. On the right hand side, two pieces of cross-beams are on display. On them, various figures depicting processions, gods, and other scenes can be seen. It is also possibile to look under the large stones, where even better preserved scenes can be seen. The temple itself is small but the ceiling must have been very high. It is here that you can find some shadow and let your fantasy go about the holiest temple of Palmyra.
