Batroun and its Region

Batroun, on the coast 50 kilometers north of Beirut, is situated on a sandy beach-rock used as a quarry since antiquity. The city is located in a triangular shaped plain crossed by the river Nahr el-Jawz. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the west, the foothills of Mount Lebanon to the south and east, and the Ras ech-Chaqa‘a plateau to the north.

We invite you on a journey to discover the city of Batroun and its monuments; the Ras ech-Chaqa’a promontory, also known as the Theouprosopon; the Mussaylha Fort; and the monuments of Koubba, a small village 2 kilometers to the north of the city of Batroun.
