Salima

Perched on a scenic mountainous headland, the village of Salima holds a significant place in history as the former seat of the Abillama Emirs since 1515. The village is renowned for its remarkable architectural heritage and cultural legacy, reflected in its splendid yet weathered Abillama seraglio (serail), ancient churches, fountains, and other historical remnants.

These structures blend seamlessly with the lush pinewood surroundings, creating a picturesque and historically rich environment. Salima offers a unique glimpse into Lebanon’s past, enriched by its deep-rooted traditions and stunning natural beauty.
