At the crossing of Weygand and Foch streets, the Municipality of Beirut is a civic and architectural landmark dating back to 1934. The building is in neo-Mamluk style, also referred to as 'Oriental' or 'Arab' style, an expression used to designate various strands of Islamic revivalism used in public buildings to express regional identity. Following its restoration, the building houses the offices of the Beirut municipal council and Mohafez (administrator). It is opened to the public and for official registration of documents.
