The Saint Nicholas Cathedral was built in the 8th century and was later divided with a wall into two churches, establishing the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral and Saint Nicholas Greek Catholic Cathedral, rich for their prestigious 18th-century icons. The Greek Orthodox Cathedral features a shrine that is believed to be the meeting point of Saints Paul and Peter, according to church tradition. The cathedrals were restored by the DGA and the Hariri Foundation for Sustainable Human Development, the Greek Orthodox cathedral also by the Sarraf Foundation.
