The Valley of Qadisha
In the high majestic mountains of the north, lies at the foot of the picturesque village of Bsharreh the Paradise on earth. Christianity’s long presence is marked by countless sanctuaries and places of devotion. The deep gorge of Wadi Qadisha opens dramatically at the foot of Bsharreh village, and then branches into many small valleys to make its twisty way to the sea.
In Medieval times Christian monks rediscovered the caves and shelters that had been inhabited in antiquity and reused them to build chapels, hermitages and rock-cut monasteries in the valley. Monks of all confessions, even Muslim soufis, secluded themselves here to lead a life of contemplation and meditation.
