The Capitol is a Roman temple from the 2nd century, principally dedicated to Rome’s protective triad: Jupiter

Looking toward the baths

The Bath of the Cyclopses

The Capitol is exceptionally well preserved, which is a consequence of its inclusion in the Byzantine fortification. A series of eleven stairs lead up to the front portico. The temple front's Corinthian columns are 26 feet tall, on top of which is the perfectly preserved pediment

After all these centuries and weather the tile work is still visible and beautiful.

Communal toilets

We stopped in a small town Majez al Bab and while walking around we met a 90 plus year old local on her way to meet her sister.

Notice the numbers on the face of the clock. The clock numbers are opposite of what we have today.

Notice also the Star of David a the base of the tower.

We met a local couple and through translations had an enjoyable conversation.

We arrive at the Market of Majaz al Bab.

A little history of this area. During World War II this area is where allied and Axis forces first collided and much of the ensuing North Africa campaign revolved around Majaz Al Bab.
