Beit Beirut, located in Beirut, Lebanon, is a museum and urban cultural center housed in a historic building known as the Barakat Building. This structure, which dates back to the 1920s, is a prime example of early 20th-century Lebanese architecture, blending Ottoman and French Mandate styles. During the Lebanese Civil War, the building was strategically significant due to its location on the Green Line, the demarcation line that divided East and West Beirut. It served as a sniper's nest and witnessed numerous clashes.
