Our Lady of Lebanon is a revered Marian shrine perched on a hilltop in Harissa, dominated by a 15-ton, 8.5-meter bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, painted white. Visitors can take a cable car from Jounieh or drive up to the sanctuary, which includes a chapel, a small museum, and panoramic terraces. The statue, raised in 1908, is a beacon of interfaith peace and offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean coast. Pilgrims and tourists alike come to light candles, attend mass, and enjoy the serene atmosphere.
