Tabula
Byblos, known locally as Jbeil, sits on the Mediterranean coast north of Beirut and is considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in the world. From above, you can still read its layers. The small, rounded harbour is at the water's edge, the old town has tight lanes around it, and the archaeological site sits on the promontory beside them.
The city was a major Phoenician port. Its name passed into Greek as the word for papyrus, and later into the word for books. Early examples of the Phoenician alphabet were found here, and the site, with its Crusader castle and ruins from many periods, is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
A Byblos map poster brings together the ancient core and the modern town. Newer streets and the coastal highway run inland and along the shore, around the historic centre. In monochrome, the coastline and the curve of the old port frame everything else.
The small, curved port is one of the most recognisable shapes on the map. For thousands of years it linked Byblos with trade routes across the Mediterranean.
Narrow, irregular streets gather near the castle and harbour. Their fine, winding pattern contrasts sharply with the straighter roads of the modern town.
The ruins and Crusader castle occupy open ground beside the old town. On the poster, this area appears as a distinct space beside the dense streets, marking the ancient city.

Cur Byblos
Byblos means a great deal to Lebanese families, historians and anyone interested in how writing began. A map of its harbour and old town carries all of that without needing a single picture.
