Qalaat Faqra is an archaeological site in Kfardebian, Lebanon, with Roman and Byzantine ruins. Located on the slopes of Mount Sannine at an altitude of 1500 m, it is one of the most important sites of the UNESCO-listed Nahr al-Kalb valley.
Ruins include a temple to Zeus Beelgalasos, a sanctuary of Atargatis dedicated to Agrippa II and his sister Berenice, two altars, and a tower with a 16-metre square base built in 44 A.D.
To us, the Small Altar at Faqra, which has been restored in 1945, hardly looks like an altar, and to be fair, we do not really know the function of this small monument.
