About Us

OUR VENUE: KOURA CINEMA DAYS AT SAINT JOHN'S CHURCH. AL SHEE

 Situated between the sea and the mountains, on a chain of beautiful hills that stretch from east to west, Amioun, the center and capital of Koura District has a distinctive location and a scenic view.
Surrounding the hills on which Amioun is situated are olive fields in the north and vineyards, almond orchards, and olive trees in the south. Paved roads, including the Beirut-Cedars main highway, run through those hills. Long ago, when the houses that stretched on those hills were few, Amioun was called “the town of beautiful hills”.Amioun is a very old settlement whose history can be traced back to the Paleolithic period.
This is supported by the number of small caves built in the old city's rocks. In the past years, a number of French and German Orientalist– foremost of whom was the Frenchman Ernest Renan – visited it, studied its archaeological sites and wrote about them. The ancient Semitic peoples are thought to have arrived in the region around 4000 B.C. Saint John “al-sheer” church: Elevated on a rocky cliff over a number of vaults in the southeastern facade of the cliff.
A Triple scene of a Crusaders church (1099–1100) panoramic over the 28 man-made crypts in the façade whose carbon-dating suggests 15,000–24,000 years of age.
