Album Info:
The temple known today as "Qasr al-Bint" sits at the western end of a long temenos, past the Temenos Gate at the end of the Colonnaded Street. The large temple (see the people below for scale) measures about 60m wide by 60m deep, or 200' square, including the porch. Its standing walls are 23m (76') high. The temple faces north, towards the temenos, and was approached by a broad flight of steps. A large altar stands in the temenos, in front of the temple. This photo looks south across the altar to the porch of the temple. The porch was originally fronted by four large columns, whose bases are seen here. The cella of the temple is located beyond the porch wall and through the arched entrance.
