Baalbek

Once known as Heliopolis – the City of the Sun – Baalbek’s sprawling complex is home to some of the most impressive Roman ruins around. Of these, the two largest and grandest are the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple of Jupiter; both of which date to around the first and second century BC.

While they feature some glorious architecture with gigantic colonnades of sturdy columns, the rest of the complex has some marvelous remains and ruins for visitors to peruse. The Great Court, for instance, is littered with stone blocks and carvings dating back millennia, while ancient fortifications can be seen here and there.

Although the site was pilfered over the centuries for building materials by the Mamluks and Ottomans, Baalbek is still a significant historical site and is one of Lebanon’s most popular tourist attractions.

Colosseum

One of the most famous buildings ever constructed, the Colosseum almost needs no introduction. Lying in the heart of Rome, the enormous oval amphitheater is one of the Roman empire’s greatest architectural triumphs and remains standing almost 2000 years after it was completed.

While three stories of huge arcades make up its outer wall, its interior boasts fantastic views of the endless seating areas and subterranean network of tunnels and rooms, which used to lie beneath the arena’s floor. Over the centuries, countless gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and even mock sea battles took place in the amphitheater, which could hold up to 80,000 spectators.

One of the most iconic symbols of Imperial Rome, the Colosseum is a must-see sight due to its awe-inspiring architecture, spectacular size, and historical importance.

Library of Celsus

Located in the ancient Greek city of Ephesus in present-day Turkey, the Library of Celsus is rightly exalted for its exquisite architecture. One of the only remaining libraries from the Roman Empire, it was built sometime around 120 AD as a funerary monument to Gaius Julius Aquila’s father.
While most of the building was destroyed long ago in a fire, its fabulous facade with its fine details and stunning statues was re-erected in the 1970s. Believed to have held a vast collection of scrolls, the lovely Library of Celsus was once one of the largest libraries in the empire.

Now, however, it makes for a popular tourist destination and looks particularly arresting when lit up beneath the night sky.

P**a Arena

One of the largest surviving Roman amphitheatres, P**a Arena makes for a spectacular sight, as it still retains its complete circuit of glimmering, white, limestone walls. Built between 27 BC and 68 AD, the well-preserved arena boasts hundreds of magnificent arches, set over two or three stories.

In its heyday, it would have been able to accommodate up to 23,000 cheering spectators. In addition, there are some fantastic subterranean galleries for visitors to explore, as well as four towers – one at each corner. Beautifully illuminated at night, the arena still regularly hosts events, although nowadays, it’s rock bands and opera singers instead of gladiators who take to the stage in Croatia.

Tower of Hercules

Reputed to be the oldest working lighthouse in the world, the Tower of Hercules has overlooked Spain’s wild and rugged North Atlantic coastline since at least the second century AD. This was when it was built by the Romans, who based its design on the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Towering to 55 meters, the sturdy-looking tower was last renovated in 1791, when the old Roman masonry was repaired. Set in a scenic spot on a peninsular in Galicia, the endless sea stretching away before the Tower of Hercules saw the region named Finisterra by the Romans, who believed it to be the edge of the world.
