Saint Elias Maronite Church, Kantari

Beirut, Lebanon

Saint Elias Maronite Church (also known in French as Église Saint-Élie de Kantari) is a Maronite parish church located on Fakhreddine Street in the Kantari district of Beirut, Lebanon. Completed in 1907, it is considered the first Maronite parish church established in the Lebanese capital. The sandstone building replaced an earlier, smaller church on the same site and was heavily damaged during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) before being restored and re-inaugurated in 2002. It sustained further damage in the 2020 Beirut port explosion.
