Qalaat Faqra
sanctuary · 30 BC – 2099 AD
A Roman-era sanctuary complex in Lebanon with multiple altars and two temples. On the basis of epigraphic evidence, one of these temples seems to have been dedicated to Atargatis and the other possibly to Zeus Beelgalassos. There is some evidence for worship also of Zeus Heliopolis and for the Roman imperial cult. A Byzantine basilica was later built on the site.
