Baalbek

Artwork: Print by Millo, Baalbek, 2026

Italian mural artist Millo recently created a print featuring a Roman temple from the Baalbek complex in Lebanon in the Beqaa Valley, east of the Litani River. It is a civilisational wonder with Phoenician roots and is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known especially for the Temple of Jupiter and the Temple of Bacchus. The central focus is the placing of a heart in one of the Baalbek temples amidst his signature cityscape with aeroplanes and clouds. Given the focus on the war in Lebanon right now, especially the south, Millo’s artwork is timely and poignant.
