Mar Charbel Sanctuary

Alita Mar Charbel

A pine-dotted up-winding path leads to the Sanctuary of Mar Charbel.
The Mazar is overlooking the museum and its basic structure was built in the sixties of last century by the workers of the former factories for Lebanon’s most beloved Saint.

MACAM and ALITA Development s.a.r.l are looking for sponsors to complete the Sanctuary.
