Free admission

This bustling public landmark in downtown Beirut—once the cultural and economic heart of the capital, now a popular gathering place and protest site—pays tribute to the Lebanese nationalist activists killed for rebelling against the Ottoman rule in 1916. The square’s bronze statue created by Italian sculptor Marino Mazzacurati was erected in their memory in 1965. During the 15-year Lebanese civil war, the square marked Beirut’s demarcation line, and the sculpture has the battle scars to prove it.
