Rachana

Picture
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. 

To reach Rachana by public transport from Beirut or Byblos, take a bus from the coastal highway in the direction of Batroun and Tripoli. Ask the bus driver to drop you off at the side of the highway near Rachana (just before the checkpoint of Batroun). From there, you can either walk in eastward direction (1 hour) or take a taxi for about 10,000 LBP. 

To reach Rachana by car from Beirut or Byblos, take the coastal highway to the north and turn left just before the large checkpoint in Batroun (there are signs indicating a wine route).
