We just came across this article in National Geographic about the preservation of Beirut’s heritage and historical landmarks. (Article by Beirut-based journalist Abby Sewell)
Preserving old buildings can offer opportunities and strengthen our country’s sense of community. They are a reminder of our city’s culture and complexity. Once a piece of history is destroyed, it is lost forever.
Hats off to all those fighting to protect and salvage the gems that are left.
