Deir el-Qamar Town Square

This stamp highlights Lebanon's rich socio-political history and architectural crafts by featuring a view of the town square in Deir el-Qamar (Monastery of the Moon). As the historic capital of the Mount Lebanon Emirate under the Maan and early Shihab dynasties, this beautifully preserved village stands as a central symbol of traditional stone masonry, regional administration, and historic coexistence. The scene portrays the central public square, complete with its historic fountain, surrounding palaces, and a prominent mosque minaret against a terraced hillside backdrop.
