In addition to that, you can find hammams which follow the classical pattern of Roman Byzantine baths and several Khans. It is also famous for its souks, where you can find various trades (tailors, jewelers, perfumers, tanners, and soap makers).

Our Lady of Nourieh

Our Lady of Nourieh is a Greek Orthodox monastery that was built in the 17th century. This miraculous icon has been venerated for centuries for glowing with light to attract wayward ships.
Nourieh is a derivative of the Arabic word "nour" meaning light. Thus, in English, the Marian shrine can be called, Our Lady of Light. Legend has it that the story behind this monastery is that two sailors built the shrine in the 4th century. One winter night when the sea was raging, the sailors found themselves in danger and started praying. Suddenly, a light appeared and guided them safely to the shore. The grateful sailors carved a cave in the cliff and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary, calling this shrine “Our lady of Light.”
