Beirut

Martyrs' Square is a central, and biggest, town square in Beirut and its central district. The square took its name in 1931 to commemorate the martyrs executed there under Ottoman rule. During the Lebanese Civil War, it formed the demarcation line that divided the city in half.  During the reconstruction of the Square following the Civil Ware (1975-1990) archaeologists uncovered the ruins of a Roman city with a large section of a main Roman street, with paving and columns. The street also contained the remains of Roman baths. The site features the remains of the brick vaults and columns that supported the floor, surrounded by terraces with many benches.

The Place de l’Étoile is the central square in downtown Beirut. The square has a number of official buildings including the Lebanese Parliament, Ministry of Finance, and a museum as well as two cathedrals and numerous cafes and restaurants.   Following the assignation of Rafic Hariri, the former Prime Minister of Lebanon, on February 14, 2005, the square was closed to traffic. Today, the square is largely empty, with just some pedestrians walking to work or to the cafes but mostly filled with an enormous population of pigeons.
