Baakleen

Situated at an elevation of 850 to 920 meters, it has a population of around 30,000 and covers an area of 14 square kilometers, with approximately 2,870 homes.

The beautiful grand serail, the main administrative building of Baakline before World War II, has been restored and transformed into a public library.

In the area of the Serail are some Druze religious buildings of the 18th and 19th centuries, including, ancient tombs and Ain Aldiaa water source.

It served as the summer capital for the Druze “Qaem Makqam” or the local governor in the name of the Ottoman Sultan.
