These Instagram Accounts Show The Surreal Beauty Of Lebanon’s Abandoned Buildings

No stranger to run-down beauty, Lebanon is abundant with deserted buildings that have been left uninhabited since the civil war.

We came across a few Instagram accounts that capture the abandoned side of Lebanon, reminding us that things can remain beautiful even when past their prime.

The accounts are called @abandoned_lebanon, @beirut.forget.me.nots, and @abandoned_places_lebanon – and you can follow them on Instagram if you’d like to see more pictures like the ones below.
