Although the building itself is of an immense size, it was only one part of a much larger sacred complex, surrounded by high walls, that dwarfed even the colossal Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek. Today the ruins of the main temple and one of the side rotundas can be visited, while the other side rotunda is still in use as a small mosque
