At the beginning of that road is this, The Heneine Palace, that\u2019s rather unmissable thanks to the large hole in the side of the wall. <br \/>  <br \/>  The Heneine Palace was built within the last few years of the Ottoman rule, towards the end of the nineteenth century for a Russian nobleman, and was occupied by a long list of people including the founder of the French School of Medicine and the notorious &#8220;magician&#8221; Doctor Dahesh, who had his own cult.<br \/>  <br \/>  In 2016, the World Monuments Fund added this endangered historic building to their watch list. Lebanon has two sites out of 50 selected worldwide sites on this list, the second being Beirut\u2019s Dalieh of Raouche. <br \/>  <br \/>  On May 18-21, you can join the campaign to save Beirut\u2019s heritage that includes a virtual tour, discussions, exhibitions, workshops, site visits, food markets and more to promote this incredible event. <br \/>  <br \/>  If you\u2019re not yet convinced,
