Our Lady of Zahle, the sanctuary in 1958, Bishop Euthym, a man of extraordinary dedication to Our Lady, chose to fabricate a hallowed place to pay tribute to the Virgin Mary on the highest point of a slope sitting above Zahle and the Bekaa Valley. A ten-meter-high bronze statue of the Virgin Mary by the Italian craftsman, Pierroti, lays on a 54-meter high tower, delegated the slope called Tel Chiha. A lift is accessible to take explorers and travelers to a stage with amazing perspectives of the red-roofed town and the valley. The ground level of the tower houses a little sanctuary.
