Modern Downtown Beirut ws built on the on the site of the Roman city. One advanatage of all the reconstruction work in the area has been the uncovering of important Roman ruins, such as the baths and columns from the grand colonnade.
Just beside and behind the lovely looking spot of the previous picture, we were looking in the direction of the Place des Martyrs and saw this totally devastated area.
This was our first encounter with the enormous damage of years of civil war.
St George's Cathedral is the main Maronite church within the central Beirut district. Close to the Green Line which seperated east and west Beirut during the civil war, the Cathedral was badly damaged in the fighting. After four years of intensive renovation, it reopened on St George's Day, April 24th 2000.
Main Religions in Lebanon:

*Druze
*Islam Sunni - Sunnite
*Shi'a Shi'ite
*Armenians - Arman
Raouché is a quiet neighbourhood to the south-west of the heart of Beirut. It is a place that is packed with restaurants and cafés, as well as a few hotels, largely because of the beautiful sea views that can be had from the main thoroughfare along the coast. I’m sure that the are is not all that popular in the winter, when storms can lash the coast and bring quite cold temperatures, but when the sun is shining, the area is ideal for strolling and taking pictures.
I went into this church because I thought that it would have a fair number of interesting icons and paintings. In truth, it had some, but not all that many. It is a fairly new church, designed according to the traditional pattern that is used for most Armenian Orthodox churches, with octagonal walls and a large campanile. The priest, who seemed to be quite happy to have me interested in the church, explained that all of the paintings had been done by an artist for Armenia. Apart from this, though, there's not much of historical interest in the church.
