Amrit
It is located to the south of Tartus. It contains a unique temple dating back to the 5th century B.C. This temple is carved in rock and surrounded by water.
Amrit also contains the remains of a big stadium that could seat 11 thousand spectators, and dates back to the 16th century B.C. The ancient Syrians used the stadium for their sport seasons, a practice that was picked up by the Greeks 8 centuries later, and was called the Olympic games.
