Belat is a ruined temple of unknown identification in southern Lebanon, between Marwahin and Ramyah. H. H. Kitchener described its location as "on top of a very commanding, steep, and narrow ridge, difficult of access... in this, the wildest part of the country".[1]

Kitchener and Ernest Renan considered it perhaps the finest example of a "high place" in the Galilee.[1][2][3]
