Hadiqat al Shuhada, the Martyrs’ Garden in Barja, is a memorial park in the Chouf town, distinct from Martyrs’ Square in Beirut and from the monument in Beiteddine. It gives Barja a civic green space tied to commemoration, near the grand mosque and the public garden. The visit is short: trees, a memorial presence and the atmosphere of a town centre. It suits a pause on the coastal-hill road between Beirut and the mountain palaces. Be respectful of the memorial function, especially on national days. As a public garden with a specific name, it is the right result for anyone searching martyr memorials in Barja rather than in the capital.
