Roman temple
There are the ruins of a Roman temple in the village that are included in a group of Temples of the Beqaa Valley.[2] The temple foundations are made of gigantic blocks of stone, upon which sit the remains of a podium. The podium has a long inscription written on it that is now almost impossible to read.[1]
