Beirut's Public Spaces

Beirut’s public landscape features a mix of historic Ottoman-era gardens and French Mandate-style squares.

These spaces highlight the city's architectural evolution, serving as vital urban lungs and commemorative landmarks like Martyrs' Square and the Jesuit Garden, which preserves Roman archaeological remains beneath its walking paths.
