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.
