Take the road north of Baalbeck, turning right at the sign for Ras Baalbeck. This is a good-sized town built along what looks like a dry riverbed. In fact, this watercourse is what saves the village from floods caused by winter rains and melting snow.
On your left as you approach the village are the modest, but historically interesting ruins of a Byzantine church built on and from the remains of an earlier Roman temple.
Today's Ras Baalbech was the former Byzantine "Conna" mentioned in the official documents of the Council of Chalcedon.
Another church, still in use and located in the village itself, is made with materials from a Roman building.
