The Temple of Bel in Palmyra, Syria, was one of the best-preserved and most significant ancient structures in the region before its destruction in 2015. Originally dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Bel, the temple showcased a blend of Greco-Roman and Eastern architectural influences. For photo-travelers, the temple’s unique Corinthian columns, intricate carvings, and large propylaea (monumental gateway) were standout features. Additionally, the temple was surrounded by a temenos wall and included significant altars and courtyards. Today, visiting the ruins provides poignant opportunities to capture the resilience and former grandeur of Palmyra’s rich cultural heritage amid its current devastated state.
