Le peribolos du temenos est de plan rectangulaire. Le temple est constitue d'une cella rectangulaire et d'un portique. Trois entrees: au centre, au Nord et au Sud. La decoration de l'architecture continue la tradition hellenistique. D'apres les inscriptions grecques et l'iconographie, le temple etait dedie a Baalshamin, et a ete fonde en 117 ap. J.-C.
