About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Rashaya Citadel, Rashaya Lebanon
In 1943 the members of the new Lebanese Government, President Beshara el-Khoury himself, the Speaker of Parliament Adel Osseyran, and ministers Camille Shamoun, Abdel-Hamid Karameh and Selim Takla, were imprisoned in the citadel of Rashaya. The latter quickly disavowed the Commissioner’s action, so the prisoners left the citadel of Rashaya head high to declare the Independence of the Lebanese Republic on November 22nd.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Hasbaya Shehabi Citadel, Hasbaya Lebanon
A good deal of this history transpired at the huge citadel that is today Hasbaya’s chief claim to fame. Owned by the Chehab emirs, the citadel forms the major part of a Chehabi compound – a group of buildings surrounding an unpaved central square 150 meters long and 100 meters wide. Several medieval houses and a mosque make up the rest of the compound, which covers a total of 20,000 square meters.
