Qadisha Valley | |
---|---|
The Qadisha Valley in northern Lebanon contains important early Christian monastic settlements, particularly of the Maronite sect. Located in dramatic settings on the Qadisha slopes and built into cliff faces, many of these monasteries and chapels are still in use and the Maronite services are conducted in Syriac, a language closely related to the Biblical Aramaic. UNESCO World Heritage Site: Ouadi Qadisha (the Holy Valley) and the Forest of the Cedars of God (Horsh Arz el-Rab) |
