History
Tripoli grew as a strategic Mediterranean hub; its citadel was first built by Crusaders in the early 12th century while Batroun preserves traces of its Phoenician maritime past.
Conservation
Coastal sites face erosion and litter pressures—support local businesses, avoid single-use plastics on the promenade, and respect archaeological features when exploring.
