Gibran Museum
The Gibran Museum, formerly the Monastery of Mar Sarkis, is a biographical museum in Bsharri, Lebanon, from Beirut. It is dedicated to the Lebanese writer, philosopher, and artist Kahlil Gibran. The museum was an old cavern where many hermits sought refuge since the 7th century. By the end of the 17th century, the people of Bsharri offered the hermitage the existing building erected during the 16th century and the surrounding oak forest to the Carmelite Fathers who were then living in the Qadisha valley with the Monks of Saint Elisha Monastery. The Carmelite Fathers built the monastery progressively until 1862. In 1908, while some of the monks moved towards Bsharri to build the Saint Joseph Monastery, the others remained in the valley to take care of the whole property. In 1926, while still in New York, Gibran expressed the desire of purchasing from the Carmelite Fathers the hermitage, the monastery, and the adjoining forest in order to make it his retreat and final resting p ...

Little Hagia Sophia
Little Hagia Sophia Mosque (church) ( tr, Küçük Ayasofya Camii), formerly the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus ( el, , ''Ekklēsía tôn Hagíōn Sergíou kaì Bákchou en toîs Hormísdou''), is a former Greek Eastern Orthodox church dedicated to Saints Sergius and Bacchus in Constantinople, built between 532 and 536, and converted into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire. This Byzantine building with a central dome plan was erected in the sixth century by Justinian; despite its Turkish name, it likely was not a model for Hagia Sophia ("Holy Wisdom"), with which its construction was contemporary, but it is nonetheless one of the most important early Byzantine buildings in Istanbul. It was recognized at the time by Procopius as an adornment to the entire city, and a modern historian of the East Roman Empire has written that the church "by the originality of its architecture and the sumptuousness of its carved decoration, ranks in Constantinople second only to S ...
