Qornet Shehwan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Qornet Shehwan is a small town in the Mount Lebanon area of Lebanon's Matn District. Apart from its importance as the seat of the Maronite Archbishopric of Al Metn, it was little known to the outside world until the year 2000, when it became the headquarters of the Qornet Shehwan Gathering, a mainly Christian coalition of politicians, intellectuals, and businessmen opposed to the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon.
