Ras Baalbek (Arabic: رأس بعلبك) is a village in the northern Beqaa Valley in Lebanon.
To the east there are ruins that are alleged to be the remains of a Roman aqueduct.
Inhabitants of the village have confirmed it was once called "Connaya," suggesting a link to the ancient settlement of Conna, mentioned in the work of Antonius.
[1] Notable features include the monastery of "Our Lady of Ras Baalbek" (Deir Saidat ar-Ras) and two Byzantine churches.
[1] In 1838, Eli Smith noted Ras Baalbek's population as being predominantly Catholic Christian.
