    In the Northern Mountains of Lebanon, a lively village digs its ancient roots deep into the land of the cedars, perched over the Valley of the Saints, its red-tiled roofs topping its traditional Lebanese stone houses, adding a mesmerizing charm to the region.

    That’s Hasroun, proudly lodged among the mighty mountains since the Phoenician era, carrying a Phoenician name that speaks of the “Fortress” that it was, impenetrable to all those who had tried to conquer it through its history and openly welcoming to all those who share the friendly nature of its people.
