Beiteddine Palace | Lebanon

LeB.Fr · September 27th, 2007, 10:49 PM

Welcome to the Beiteddine Palace, Lebanon...

The palace was built over a thirty year period starting in 1788 by Emir Bachir Al Chahabi II the ruler of Mount-Lebanon.

The palace was the Emir's residence until 1840. After the Ottomans suppressed the emirate in 1842 the building was used by the Ottoman authorities as the government
residence. Later, under the French Mandate following World War I, it was used for local administrative purposes.

The General Directorate of Antiquities carefully restored Beiteddine to its original grandeur after it was declared a historic monument in 1934.
Beginning in 1943, the year of Lebanon's independence, the palace became the summer residence of the president of republic.

Today Beiteddine, with its museums and its gardens, is one of Lebanon's major tourist attractions. The palace hosts the Beiteddine festival every summer.
