Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, is an ancient Phoenician port. The city was rocked in the 1970s and 1980s by civil war and Israeli occupation, which left their marks deep in the urban fabric.

Country: Lebanon
Area: 20 km² (8 sq mi)

They say Beirut has been rebuilt seven times.
Seven times it was destroyed and seven times it was reborn.
No one can tell you what all the seven disasters were – earthquakes, my friend Iman says, as we walk around Maarad, all renovated and redesigned, filled with chic cafes and stores. Asides from the Roman ruins, centuries old, jutting out of the earth, and the bullet holes that pockmark the buildings, everything is very, very new.
“Lebanon is like the phoenix,” Iman tells me, “because every time we go down, we raise up again.”

Beirut is 5,000 years old and inhabited by the spirits of invaders and kings. There was no man of any influence who did not lay his hands on this city.

In memoriam: Walid Slaïby, co-founder Academic University College for Non-Violence & Human Rights (Lebanon)
