Martyrs' Square Beirut is a historic public space located in the heart of the city. It has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century and serves as an important symbol of freedom, unity, and independence for the people of Lebanon. The square was originally built in 1820 by Ottoman rulers to commemorate those who had died in the Ottoman-Alawite War. It has since become a place of remembrance and celebration for all Lebanese citizens.
The square is home to two iconic landmarks: the Martyrs' Monument, which was erected in 1921 to honor those who died fighting for Lebanon's independence from France; and the Martyrs' Clock Tower, which has been standing since 1934 as a symbol of national pride and timekeeping tradition. The monument displays four bronze figures representing courage, faith, hope, and patriotism – values that still remain strong in Lebanese society today. Every summertime on August 14th, large crowds gather at Martyrs' Square Beirut to celebrate National Independence Day with fireworks and festivities.
At the entrance of Martyrs' Square sits Souk al-Tawileh - one of Beirut’s oldest markets. This historical market dates back to 1697 when it was founded by Imam Ali Tawileh as part of his efforts to help revive Beirut's economy after years of turmoil and destruction. Today this bustling market offers visitors everything from fresh produce and souvenirs to clothing and handmade crafts made by local artisans.
Located within walking distance from downtown Beirut are several other landmarks associated with Martyrs' Square including beautiful gardens such as Beit El Din Garden and Beit Mery Gardens; theaters such as Al Karma Theater; museums like National Museum Of Beirut; historic churches like St George Maronite Cathedral; mosques like Mohammed Al Amin Mosque; parks like An-Nouqra Park and much more. These sites are all popular destinations among tourists looking to explore the rich history of central Beirut while visiting this critical public space at Martyrs’ Square Beirut.
