The open space around the restored Roman Baths was landscaped with terraces reconstituting the sights and scents of ancient and Mediterranean gardens. The Roman Baths are a favored meeting place for people of all ages. Adolescents rollerblade in the pedestrian area and on the stairs leading to the Serail hill. Families use the garden for their outings, young people for quiet rendez-vous or for reviewing before exams. The site is lending itself to many open-air concerts and plays. Large crowds are drawn to the popular international concerts that it hosts during the Music Festival. The festival is held in Beirut each summer together with several European cities.
