The Harissa hill is located above Jounieh, is 24 kilometers from Beirut, at 600m altitude. There is the Monastery of Patriarchal Maronite, at the top, the convent of the Paulist Greek Melkite Catholic Fathers.
At a small distance the summer see of the Apostolic Nuntio in Lebanon, and near there is the convent for the Franciscan Fathers. A lit bit far from there, the convent of Charfeh, the see of the Syriac Catholic Patriarchate and on the hill of Bzoummar the Armenian Catholic Patriarchate and off course the most attractive thing there, the Sanctuary vowed to the Virgin, the Queen of Lebanon.
The most amazing in Harrisa is the diffirent sects of Chritianism that we can find there.
Even for those not so religious, the site is very beautiful especially for the views of Jounieh, for the touristic attractions, and for the Teleferique(gondola-lift).
