Baabda Palace
Baabda Palace (or Presidential Palace,[1] French: Palais présidentiel de Baabda, Arabic: قصر بعبدا), also known as Qantari Palace, is the official residence of the President of Lebanon. The palace was built in 1956 on a hill in the mountain town of Baabda overlooking the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The first President to reside in it was President Charles Helou.[2][3]
Ministerial meetings[]
The Baabda palace is surrounded by the Ministry of Defense and various other military posts. It started hosting ministerial meetings[4][5] every other week after the usual venue of the ministerial meetings was abandoned due to security reasons in mid-2005. Now, the ministerial meetings are held in alternating order at Baabda Palace and the Grand Serail.
