Square of the Star
Description:
Star Square is located in the heart of Old Beirut. In ancient times, the Roman Forum was located on this very site. The area has been rebuilt by French architects.
The square really has the shape of a “star”: in all directions from it run rays-streets. In the east and south-west there are no streets, there are churches of St. Elijah and St. George. In the center of the square is a clock tower. Star Square and the small streets adjacent to it are one of the centers of nightlife in modern Beirut. Residents and tourists come here to drink coffee, eat ice cream, socialize, have dinner and even watch football.
