Walk through the area around Nejmeh Square to see how mosques, a church, civic spaces and later buildings reveal Beirut’s changing urban history. Begin at the square, then move between places of worship and public gathering that help you read the city’s Ottoman-era setting and the layers added afterward. The walk is worth taking for the close contrasts between religious architecture, open civic space and the museum record of Beirut’s changing fabric.
