Restoring Memory to Places: The Construction Site of the Mar Mikhael Train Station

In the pulsating heart of Mar Mikhael, where iron meets stone and time is made material, the delicate intervention of conservative restoration on the historic railway station continues.

The visit of the cultural expert from AICS Beirut marked an important stage: the direct discussion on the construction site allowed for a review of the progress made and a refinement of the vision of the final result.

Among the arches wounded by time and the structures being reborn, the will to safeguard the soul of the place has been reaffirmed, respecting its stratifications and enhancing its public vocation. Restoration is not just technique: it is listening, it is dialogue with memory, it is responsibility towards the future. Every stone repositioned, every beam consolidated, every detail recovered tells a story we do not want to forget.

It is precisely in this dialogue between past and present, between experts and the community, that a new promise of shared beauty is taking shape.
