Rachana
Located about 14 kilometers north from Byblos and 55 kilometers from Beirut, Rachana - meaning "me, the head" in Aramaic - is known as the museum village. Entering the village, you will find sculptures, as well as other art forms, everywhere; on the road, in front of the houses, in the gardens, and on squares. Welcoming sculptors from all over the world for fifteen days every year, the International Park of Sculpture in Rachana displays over 50 sculptures.
