Perched on a 850 meters elevation, Beiteddine or house of faith, is the best example of early 19th century Lebanese archi-tecture.
Known for its Beiteddine palace complex, with its mu-seums and gardens, it's one of Lebanon's major tourists attractions.
The Palace complex is built over a thirty period by Emir Bachir Chehab II, who ruled Mount-Lebanon for more than half a century.
