- The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon - Located in Harissa, this shrine is one of the world’s most significant sites honoring the Virgin Mary. It features a massive 15-ton bronze statue of the Immaculate Conception, standing 8.5 meters high with a five-meter diameter. The statue of the Virgin Mary extends her arms towards Beirut, offering one of the world’s most stunning panoramic views over the Bay of Jounieh.
- Churches of Harissa - Harissa is a prominent Christian pilgrimage destination, home to the shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. The site features a large 15-ton bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, known as Our Lady of Lebanon or Notre Dame du Liban, with outstretched arms. Created at the end of the 19th century and inaugurated in 1908, the statue’s base houses a small chapel. Nearby, a grand cathedral made of concrete and glass stands. Other nearby churches include the Byzantine-style Melkite Greek Catholic basilica of St. Paul, built between 1948 and 1998, the Apostolic Nunciature (Papal Embassy), and the residences of four patriarchs of Eastern Catholic Churches.

- Byblos Castle - Byblos Castle is a restored 12th-century Crusader castle, surrounded by a 10-meter-wide dry moat, located within Byblos’ atmospheric archaeological site, which includes the ruins of the Temple of Baalat Gebal and the Temple of the Obelisks. The castle offers a magnificent view over the ruins from its four-square keep. Below the walls, a series of Bronze Age dwellings is visible, with a view towards the sea.
