Grand Palace
Description:
The Grand Palace or Grand Seral is the government palace known as the headquarters of the Prime Minister of Lebanon. The building was built for barracks in 1853 and fully restored in 1998. Near the government palace you can see a beautiful clock tower, 25 meters high.
The Grand Palace is located on a hill near the Armenian Orthodox Church of St. Nishan and other important sights of the capital of Lebanon, in the northern part of Beirut. The Grand Seral is a blend of nineteenth-century architecture with modern interior and high-tech amenities.
Initially, the palace was two-storeyed, but after a three-year renovation in 1998, another floor was added. The upper floors of the Grand Seral include the Prime Minister’s residence and the offices of his aides, as well as the offices and offices of other ministers. The first floor consists of a banquet hall, a press center and a courtyard. The underground level includes a car park, offices and special rooms for staff. The Grand Seral has an area of 39,700 square meters.
