About

The medieval port occupies a natural bay. It was fortified by a rampart, two towers and a chain that blocked the entrance to the port. The merchant ships anchored offshore and transported their goods on small boats.

This port connected Jbeil to the many cities of the Mediterranean, especially Genoa at the time of the Crusades. As for the ancient Canaanite and Phoenician cities, they had another more important port located south of the city.

About Byblos

The city of Jbeil is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. 8,000 years ago, it was a fishermen village that grew afterwards to a large Canaanite and then Phoenician city. Later on, it was turned into a Roman agglomeration whose many vestiges can still be observed, suggesting an ancient richness. An important Crusader city, Jbeil was fortified by the still-visible rampart within the walls of which a castle and a cathedral were built. During the Ottoman period, the city had a souk, large houses with red-tiled roofs and mosques.
