The cathedral at time of visit was in the restricted downtown zone but as a tourist you could access. Cathedral open to visitors and beautifully decorated inside. Remarkable history. Must visit Beirut site.

This church will surprise you in many ways. It's an eighteenth century church that was built on top of a much earlier one from the 4th century. The much older church had been forgotten for hundreds of years, but a bombardment that took place during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) unveiled the ancient church when a bomb bore a hole through the newer church's floor.

We were walking downtown around noon and most of the religious places were closed but the St George Orthodox crypt was open. It is located on the side of the church and the ticket price is 5000 L.L. (around 3$ US). It is a very small exhibit with a few things to see. You also are able to view the church from underneath through a thick glass.

The cathedral is slightly hidden--close to the central square and clock tower near the parliament building. It is quiet and beautiful. It's free to visit and adds another perspective to Beirut.

This Greek Orthodox Church is beautiful and well maintained. Services are fairly frequent and you can't visit during services. Even more interesting is the museum underneath the church. This museum chronicles the early history of Beirut with walls and streets exposed to view.

The church is better from the outside, and from the colonade at the side you can take great pics through the arcades of the mosque
