Jeux Olympiques d'été de 2008 Dernières News (en anglais) (Plus)  Baalbek, Lebanon (03-08-2008 - 19:24:13) Approximately 86 kilometers northeast of the city of Beirut (بيروت) in eastern Lebanon (لبنان) stands the temple complex of Baalbek (بعلبك), atop a high point in the fertile Bekaa valley (Beqaa Valley - سهل البقاع).Baalbek is the name of an archeological site in Lebanon. In Roman times it was known as Heliopolis or City of the Sun, it was one of the largest sanctuaries in the Empire. Baalbek became a Roman colony under the Emperor Augustus in 16 B.C. On its acropolis, over the course of the next three centuries, the Romans constructed a monumental ensemble of three temples - Temple of Jupiter, Temple of Bacchus and Temple of Venus - three courtyards, and an enclosing wall built of some of the most gigantic stones ever crafted by man. On a nearby Kheikh Abdallah hill, they built a fourth temple dedicated to Mercury.  The Temple of Baal/Jupiter was begun during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the late first century BC and completed soon after 60 AD. The single largest religious edifice ever erected by the Romans, the immense sanctuary of Jupiter Heliopolitanus was lined by 104 massive granite columns, imported from Aswan in Egypt, and held a temple surrounded by 50 additional columns, almost 19m (62ft) high. The complex of the Great Temple has four sections: the monumental entrance or Propylaea, the Hexagonal Court, the Great Court and finally the Temple itself, where the six famous columns stand.The Little Temple or the "Temple of Bacchus", next to the Jupiter complex is a separate building known as the Temple of Bacchus. Constructed during the first half of the 2nd century A.D., it has been remarkably well preserved. It was apparently consecrated to a mysterious and initiatic cult centered on the young god of Baalbeck. This god was identified as a solar and growth deity, whose birth and growth promised regeneration and eternal life to the faithful.  The Round Temple or the "Temple of Venus", gem-like temple southeast of the acropolis was built in the 3rd century A.D. Its design and size, as well as its orientation towards the Great Temple, set it apart from the other Baalbeck temples. These attributes also help identify it as the temple of the Fortune of Baalbeck, which is the tutelary divinity of the City, under the protection of its great gods. It was not by accident that during the Byzantine period it was converted into a church dedicated to Saint Barbara, who is the patron saint of Baalbeck to this day. Near the Temple of Venus are the remains of "The Temple of the Muses", dating from the beginning of the 1st century A.D."Baalbeck, with its colossal structures, is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture at its apogee", UNESCO reported in making Baalbek a World Heritage Site in 1984. |
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico (13-07-2008 - 16:49:03) San Miguel de Allende is the seat of the municipality of Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Nestled high in the cool hills of the Mexican altiplano, in the eastern part of Guanajuato in Mexico's mountainous bajío region, San Miguel De Allende is one the hippest, busiest, most charming towns in Mexico. San Miguel de Allende retains a rich colonial charm with its cobblestone streets and beautiful Spanish colonial mansions, many of which have been restored to their former splendor.Originally known as San Miguel El Grande, the town was founded by a Franciscan monk named Fray Juan de San Miguel in 1542. It was an important stop over on the Antigua Camino Real, part of the silver route from Zacatecas. High season runs from December 15 to April 1, when the days are clear and sunny, and nights are cool. April through August is low season, with hotter days in the spring and rain in the summer. The rainy season in San Miguel de Allende begins the beginning of June and generally lasts through the middle of October.  San Miguel de Allende is world famous for its colonial architecture, and large expatriate population, which estimates number from 8,500 - 10,000. San Miguel de Allende has become an attractive tourist destination for wealthy Mexico City residents and has a large American and Canadian expatriate community comprised primarily of retirees.During the final week of July, San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato are co-hosts to the Expresión en Corto International Film Festival, Mexico's largest competitive film festival and the most prestigious of its kind in Latin America. The internationally renowned festival is free to the public and screens over 400 films from 10am until 4am each day in 16 venues, which include such unusual locations as San Miguel's Jardín Principal (or main square), the subterranean streets and tunnels of Guanajuato, the Guanajuato Mummy Museum and both city's Municipal graveyards (Panteónes).
