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.
