Qadisha Valley, a cradle of Christianism, hosts ancient monasteries like St. Anthony of Qozhayya, Our Lady of Hawqa, Qannoubin, and Mar Lichaa. It epitomizes Maronite eremitism with inaccessible caves and fresco-adorned architecture, attesting to austere spiritual life. The terraced landscape, cultivated by monks and peasants, endures, bearing witness to a rich spiritual history.
