Roman Water Channels

During the pagan Roman era that started around 23 BC, Ras Baalbek was known as “Konakora”, meaning the city of channels. At the beginning of this era, Roman channels were dug and they are still present under the town, between 5 and 10 meters underground where water is located. Water was reachable to households through wells.
