Tripoli
This city was in the past the centre of a Phoenician federation, including Saida, Tyr and the island of Arwad (in
Syria) which explains its name, meaning the three cities.
According to its dimensions, the second largest city of Lebanon, is mostly reputed for its Crusaders' citadel,
the Mameluk Lion Tower, mosques and souks. They all still give the oriental charm to the modem city, nowadays an
important transit harbour.
