Originally built probably in the reign of Severus, and traditionally said to be dedicated to Venus. It has also been known as the church of St. Barbara, or as the "round temple", and it has been suggested that it may have been a nymphaeum. A bust of Sol was once probably on the front of the temple. For full details and references, see Aliquot, Temple C1.

There is a brief description near the bottom of the page on Wikipedia's Baalbek page. and a drawing at http://atheism.about.com/od/religiousplaces/ig/Baalbek-Temples-Lebanon/Baalbek-Temple-Venus-Diagram.htm. Good photographs are also available from the 1960s in Taylor2.

Livius has a good page for this temple and the adjacent (north-east) temple "of the Muses" with excellent photographs and some great references3.
