Tyr — The Arc de Triomphe & #038; the El Bass Roman Hippodrome

At the archaeological site of El Bass in Tyre, two exceptional Roman monuments await you. A triumphal arc of 20 meters high, so emblematic that it appeared on the old banknotes of 250 Lebanese pounds. And one of the best preserved Roman hippodromes in the world: 470 meters long, 36,000 spectators, tank races from morning to night where all the blows were allowed — including fights between checkers.
Ranked World Heritage UNESCO since 1984. – Tyre, South Lebanon.
