Whether it\u2019s an abandoned restaurant in Raouche<\/a>, or some haunted spots in the city<\/a>, a walk through Beirut\u2019s abandoned halls can be quite an experience.
In this video, we explore a 19th century house in Karantina. Built in the Ottoman architectural style, the house is only 5 km from the port and was abandoned during the civil war. Today, it sits on the verge of collapse after taking extensive damage from the Beirut Blast. Inside, decade-spanning artifacts can be found and we just wish the walls could speak to tell us their stories.
