Abstract
Having been always recognised by its crossing of culture, history, and innovation, Lebanon was famous for its once-thriving railway network which marked it as a forward-thinking nation in the Middle East. After its complete stop due to the civil war, all of the stations within the country have been left abandoned, deteriorating with time as result of the architectural and urban neglect as well as the lack of cultural and historical heritage preservation. Among the railroad’s main remnants, The Tripoli Train Station stands today as a forgotten landmark within an increasingly fragmented urban fabric in the historical city. Tripoli is one of the most important cities not only in Lebanon but also in the Middle East, it has a rich and unique urban fabric with fascinating architecture spreading from its old historical centres passing through its souks and reaching its picturesque seaside.
Tripoli represents a treasure trove of historical and modern sites, many of which have been victims of continuous war conflicts and instability and therefore left as abandoned and underutilised hidden gems
