Bustan al-Khan

Among the monumental buildings at Bustan al-Khan ("the khan's garden"), a place more or less south of the temple of Jupiter in Baalbek, is a portico with twelve columns, which may have been the south gate to the sanctuary. To judge from the way the capitals were shaped, it was constructed in the second century.

Another colonnade at Bustan al-Khan

The two main buildings are a hall on a terrace in the southern area and a Roman bathhouse, inspired on the baths of Trajan in Rome. Archaeologists have also the colonnade that belonged to the street to the Temples of Venus and the Muses, which must have been one of the main routes through the center of Baalbek.
