Recovery of Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral

Located in the heart of the city center, the Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral is Beirut’s oldest church with foundations dating to Late Antiquity. Burned and looted during the Lebanese civil war, the cathedral faced further damage to its iconostasis (a wall of icons and religious paintings), windows, doors, and guardrails as the result of the 4 August 2020 explosion. The project repaired the iconostasis and wooden frames and replaced windows and ceiling of both the main cathedral and the adjoining Nourieh chapel. The cathedral and the chapel are once again functional and open to the public.
