Hammarah Temple

The Hammarah Temple is a Roman religious complex in Lebanon, originally built in the 1st–4th centuries AD as a square shrine dedicated to the god Zeus [1]. The temple featured an altar surrounded by sixteen pillars within a larger enclosure, constructed in the Doric order [1]. In the later Roman period, the shrine was converted into a Christian church, demonstrating the site's continuous religious use [1]. Archaeological evidence indicates the structure underwent several remodeling phases throughout its history [1].
