St. John's Cathedral (Byblos)

Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist built by the Crusaders in 1115 in the Romanesque style just inside the walls of Gibelet (modern Byblos). Its most distinctive feature is an open-air domed baptistery on the north side dating to the original 12th-century construction. Earthquakes reduced it to disrepair in later centuries; in 1764 the building was granted to the Lebanese Maronite Order and rededicated to St Jean-Marc.
