[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4510461, member: 15481"][ATTACH=full]1117815[/ATTACH] Well, if this isn’t a temple from Phoenicia, I don’t know what is! On a more serious note, this is me in Tyre back in 2005, at a bed & breakfast built on a ruin from the time of the crusaders. The first floor was pretty much in original shape from the 12th century, and if you looked in the water outside, you could see parts of old columns and building materials from better days. Tyre must be the most fascinating city I’ve ever visited, although it is very poor, destroyed by war and conflict, and the cultural heritage has not been looked after, like in Byblos and Tripoli in the north. In Tyre, people walk casually around ancient ruins, among others a temple (perhaps your temple?), and a large hippodrome that must have been impressive in its time. Few things are fenced in, and even fewer things are looked after, but the people of Tyre and southern Lebanon are proud of their heritage. You will easily find someone who can tell you something about the local sights. I went there in 2003, -04 and -05. In 2006 there was the conflict with Israel, and I haven’t visited since. But I would love to.[/QUOTE]
