At the end of the civil war the Martyrs statue is the only recognisable feature of the pre-war days at the Martyrs square in downtown Beirut, once the bustling place to be in Beirut, the Paris of the Middle East.
Downtown Beirut was the area where much of the fighting between the rival militias took place. |
|  | The people of Beirut continue their dayly life, even between the ruins of the war. |
| | When we visited Beirut in 1995, there were a lot of rebuilding activities, everywhere in the city.
After 20 years I made it to Beirut finally. I had plans to go there in 1973, but I didn't. So in 1995 I didn't bring images in my memory of how Beirut looked like in the pre-war days. |

Superb Beirut page with lovely photographs! West Beirut, Downtown Beirut and Harissa seems interesting to explore! The Martyrs statue and the Grand Mosque certainly look amazing! ~ho & pang | Delia_Madalina Fri Jun 5, 2009 08:15 UTC
It's such a pleasure toread your pages! I look forward to visiting Harissa as I've heard many Lebanese are truly devoted to her. | DAO Tue Apr 7, 2009 02:41 UTC
