Emir Bashir II of the Shihab dynasty, who later became the ruler of the Mount Lebanon Emirate, built the palace between 1788 and 1818 at the site of the Druze hermitage. After 1840, the palace was used by the Ottomans as a government building. During the French Mandate it served as a local administrative office. |

During the 16th to 18th centuries, Deir al-Qamar was the capital and the residence of the Emirate of Mount Lebanon. People from all religious backgrounds lived there and the town had a mosque, synagogue and Christian churches. The village retains a remarkable picturesque appearance with typical stone houses with red tile roofs. |
Moussa CastleIt is interesting to see what one man's dream can turn into! It is very well done. It is filled with lots of plaster figures giving snapshots of scenes from traditional Lebanese life. The castle contains unbelievable collections of swords. It is the most bizarre collection of curiosities, antiques and weaponry you'll see in Lebanon.
