Hosn Niha Roman Temple

Hosn Niha is an archaeological site in Lebanon composed of some temples and buildings in the outskirts of the village of Niha [1]. The Hosn Niha site was discovered near the Beqaa Valley and lies at the base of a steep slope [1]. Archaeologists discovered a sanctuary with two temples inside, with one being larger than the other [1]. This sanctuary also contains a church and several cult rooms [1]. A smaller sanctuary and two big quarries were also found further down nearing the village of Niha [1]. Built on a podium facing toward the east, the "Upper Great Temple" of Hosn Niha is composed of a portico with four columns, leading to a cella, and then to an elevated adytum [1].
