Lebanese Maronite monastery dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great. One of the oldest monasteries in Lebanon with several hermitages attached. Probably 12th C. built on an earlier Christian structure.
For more information see the Monastery of Qozhaya website, an extract of its 'History' section reads: "Historians and scholars suppose that this Monastery was first built and began to be occupied by hermits at the beginning of the fourth century. It was several times looted, set on fire and razed to the ground, but there still remain vestiges dating back to the seventh century."
