Temple of Bel by Julian Kaesler on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
The Temple of Bel is an ancient stone ruin located in Palmyra, Syria.

What can be seen today are the remnants of a Roman temple constructed in the first century AD. However it is thought the area may have been used as a temple site for over three thousand years.

Cardo Maximus by Julian Kaesler on Flickr.

Via Flickr:
The “cardo”, or main street, of the ruined Roman city of Apamea.

The cardo and its remaining columns stretch for some 1.5 kilometres, a reminder of this city’s past splendour and wealth which was once home to 500,000 people.
