Lebanon Landmarks
Bcharre
Gibran's Birthplace
This lovely mountain resort town is perched above the eastern end of the beautiful Kadisha Gorge and at the foothills of the Cedars of Lebanon. It is the brith place of Lebanon's most famous author Khalil Gibran. It has a small museum which pays tribute to him.
Beiteddine
"House Of Faith"
Beiteddine palace was built over a period of thirty years by Emir Bechir Chehab II. It's architecture reflects the typical oriental architecture of the 19th century Ottoman Era. It is remarkable for its glamorous arcades, multicolored mosaic floors, reception rooms, harems, hammams and even by its guest house "Diyafa" where passing guests were lodged (French poet Lamartine stayed once there).
Byblos
Ancient Phoenician City
Detail of the Sarcophagus of Ahiram, king of Byblos, seated on a cherub throne, before an offering table, 13th century B.C (National Museum of Beirut). Around 1200 B.C. the scribes of Byblos developed an alphabetic phonetic script, the precursor of our modern alphabet. By 800 B.C., it had traveled to Greece, changing forever the way man communicated.
Baalbek
Roman Temple of Jupiter
Located in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon, Baalbek is an ancient city that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally Canaanite (3rd century BC), the Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Arabs successively occupied Ba'albek and left their imprints on the place, often modifying what existed previously.
