Olonnades of the Temple of Bel

Palmyra. Syria. View of the north-western corner internal colonnades of the Temple of Bel. Dedicated to Bel who is thought to be the supreme God of the Palmyrene pantheon, the Temple is an enormous complex and its main construction was performed over several stages from the Hellenistic through to the Roman periods. Palmyra prospered in ancient times as a caravan staging post due to its location on one of the main ancient routes from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates and to markets further east including those on the Silk Route. Palmyra is a UNSECO World Heritage Site

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Olonnades of the Temple of Bel in Palmyra, Syria. The image showcases the north-western corner internal colonnades of this magnificent temple complex dedicated to Bel, believed to be the supreme God of the Palmyrene pantheon. The Temple of Bel is an architectural marvel that underwent construction over several stages from Hellenistic times through to the Roman period. Its immense size and intricate design reflect its importance as a religious center in ancient Palmyra. Situated along one of the main ancient routes connecting the Mediterranean Sea to markets further east, including those on the Silk Route, Palmyra thrived as a vital caravan staging post. This strategic location contributed greatly to its prosperity in antiquity. However, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has not been immune to crisis and conflict. The Syrian civil war brought about destruction and devastation by various militant groups such as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant). These forces targeted cultural heritage sites like Palmyra with their destructive agenda. Through this photograph, Stefania Besca preserves a moment frozen in time before these dark events unfolded. It serves as a reminder both of Syria's rich history and cultural heritage at risk due to ongoing conflicts worldwide.
