• دير مار أنطونيوس الكبير قزحيا - الرهبانية اللبنانية المارونية - The Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great is perched at 950 meters above sea level in the renowned Valley of Qozhaya. The surrounding hills are adorned with pine and oak trees, while fruit trees flourish throughout the valley, extending into the Valley of Qannubin to form the grand Qadisha Valley. This area is a testament to the history of eremitic life and the pursuit of holiness in Lebanon. Historians and scholars believe the monastery was initially constructed and inhabited by hermits in the early fourth century.
