The Saint Louis Cathedral of the Capuchin Fathers (French: Cathédrale Saint Louis des Pères Capucins) is a small Latin Catholic cathedral and convent in Beirut, Lebanon. It stands on the northern slope of the Serail Hill, adjacent to Bab Idris, one of Beirut’s seven historic city gates. The church was built by Capuchin missionaries in 1864, and named after King Louis IX of France who is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. The church is well known for its towering campanile.[1][2]
