    A lovely cathedral in the heart of Beirut and worth a visit if you’re in the area. The wood work on the deus is absolutely stunning. No photos to be taken but if you come at the right time during the day, you’re going to have no problems being able to take a snap because you will be the only one there

    An iconic landmark in Beirut that is a must see. Situated right next to some beautiful Roman ruins that make the Maronite Cathedral all that more beautiful.

    While wandering the streets of Beirut, we saw the church and came across a mass there. Although the church looks big and ostentatious from the outside, the inside was simple and beautiful. At the same time, it is a perfect example of tolerance to be side by side with the Mosque and to hear the call to prayer and the chime together.

    Magnificent building. Be sure to visit the Crypt (small entrance fee) to see ancient Beirut.

    Located in downtown Beirut, this is the greatest maronite cathedral in lebanon in my opinion... visting this historical and sacred place is a must! And what makes it even more special is its neighboring mosque muhamed el amin... a very beautiful cathedral

    This wonderful church brings us closer to a kind of original strength of Christianity. The prayer here is strong.

    It’s a beautiful church that we walked into while visiting Beirut. The cathedral was gorgeous on the inside and they had collection boxes that you could donate and light a candle and say a prayer. It’s right next to an amazing mosque.

    Beautiful and imposing church in the heart of Beirut. It was damaged in the "2020 Beirut explosion", the cathedral is still going through restoration works.

    Lovely Maronite Cathedral! It's great to have a cathedral and mosque so close to each other - really shows how different Lebanon is and tries to be! Please be respectful at these types of landmarks.

    A Maronite cathedral just next to the mosque. I can hear the Muslim prayer inside the church.
