.This monument stands alone in
the center of the Beqaa plain halfway between Baalbeck and the
town of Chlifa. The eighteen-meter column, with a Corinthian capital,
stands on four huge stone steps. A plaque which was once on the
north face has been removed and with it went all information about
the column. Local legend associates it with St. Helena, but it
is most likely a funerary monument.
