Temple of Baal Markod

  The temple of Baal Markod built centuries ago is today just a pile of ruins: some columns still stand and a part of the walls is not totally destroyed. Other smaller parts of the temple are still conserved. However, all those pieces don't actually show us how the temple looked like at its time. That is why it's been virtually reconstructed by a professional architect in every aspect based on the current ruins and on historical documents describing the temple.

Convent St John
  The St John Convent, destroyed during the Lebanese civil war, is currently being reconstructed by the Antonin Maronite Order. A part of the work was a virtual reconstruction of the convent. What you see in the following images is very close to what the convent will be like at the end of the construction work. The ruins of the Temple of Baal Markod will not be destroyed or moved away but will be part of the reconstruction project.
