- The Unfinished Palace -
On a hill overlooking Jezzine stands the unfinished dream of Dr. Farid Serhal.
Begun in 1967, the palace was conceived not simply as a residence, but as a museum bringing together fragments of different civilizations, from the Islamic and Andalusian worlds to Ottoman, Indian, Byzantine and European traditions.
Stone, arches, stained glass, sculptures and intricate ornamentation come together in an extraordinary architectural collage. Serhal continued building and collecting for decades, but died in 1996 before his vision was completed.
Today, the palace remains suspended between dream and ruin, an unfinished monument to one man's fascination with architecture, art and the civilizations that shaped it.

"Still untouched by Beirut’s development rush, the Holiday Inn stands as a symbol of war in a circle of progression. The hotel, built around 1974, was a large hub of tourism with 26 stories, a restaurant, nightclub, and 400 rooms. Its magnitude, for the time, made it a symbol of luxury and a reflection of Beirut’s golden age in the sixties when it was a lively center for regional and international tourism.
.
Shortly into its run, the Lebanese Civil War broke out in 1975 and the Beirut dream turned into a nightmare. With a war that lasted between 1975 and 1990, the Lebanese witnessed around 120,000 fatalities and disappearances.
.
As one of the tallest structures, the Holiday Inn became a strategic hub for fighters and military men. Soon it became central in a famous battle dubbed the “Battle of the Hotels.” Between 1975 and 1977, the hotel saw 1,000 deaths and 2,000 injuries in the fight of militant control of the front lines. Many deaths occurred by men being thrown off the hotel’s roof." (info via Culture Trip – 1st 📸 by me)
