Villa Mtein

Mtein, Lebanon

One of the oldest villages in Lebanon, with human presence dating back to antiquity, Mtein in Syriac translates to “morning” or “matino”. Brimming with heritage, the architecture of Mtein takes us from the historical 16th century palaces of the “midane”, the village’s central square, to the archetypal stone dwellings of Lebanon, arising between the 17th and 19th century.
