Mar Maroun Monastery, mainly Italian in style, constitutes a sample of 19th century Western architecture. This monastery was built over the ruins of another, older, Medieval monastery and once hosted a Maronite clerical school. Among the famous Ghazir residences is the traditional Lebanese house where the previous President Fouad Chehab was born. Another famous residence is the Palace of Ghazir , established in 1904 during the rule of Mozfer Baca, the Moutasarref of Mount Lebanon.

Next to Ghazir, in Beit Khachbo, stands a monastery dating back to the end of the 18th century, characterized by a gate decorated with rocky designs. The church includes a sarcophagus from the Roman era with Latin scripts engraved on it. The town also includes an old Roman bridge, in addition to a heritage cave known as the Cave of the Lion, and previously known as the "Cave of Adam". To the North of Jounieh and at the bottom of Ghazir is the town of Ma'ameltein , whose name is derived from the Ma'ameltein River, cut by a Roman bridge that used to separate two administrative districts. Ma'ameltein is home to several touristic institutions, including beaches, restaurants and coffee shops, hotels, and tourism and commercial centers. The Casino du Liban, overlooking the town, is considered to be the most famous site of Ma'ameltein.
