Ven. Chariton the Confessor
Here is a beautiful well-sculpted fountain, with its ancient stones and this modern building just behind it. I like this contrast.

Василий Тарасов Beautiful old stones. The contrast is really good.
Ilie Radu Those carved stones look good, you can tell they are several hundred years old. The rear building with large windows makes a clear contrast, it does not detract at all.
Xenia Phillips The old stones really stand out.
Mária Horváthová Those old stones look really solid, you can see the work on them. The modern house behind them complements it quite nicely.
Sophia Turner The carved details on those stones are sharp even after all these years. The modern building behind doesn't clash at all.
نقولا صايغ Yes, the inscriptions on the stone are very clear. I heard that this type of fountain in Tripoli draws water from springs near Wadi Qadisha.
Jan Szymański These stones are holding up really well after all these years. The last one about the sources from Wadi Qadisha was interesting.
Елена Васильева The stones really hold on tightly.
გელა გელაშვილი I wonder if this place is open for visitors and when is the service.
Иван Марков Yes, I also wonder if it is open to visitors.
Juliana King I wouldn't mind seeing that fountain up close one day. The carved stones look solid.
Anca Dumitrescu Those carved stones really look durable. I read that this fountain in Tripoli was restored a few years ago with funds from a UNESCO project so that it would not deteriorate.
Григорий Голубев The stones are really well preserved after restoration.
მარიამ მაისურაძე The old stones are well preserved.
Veronika Dvořáková Those old stones hold up really well after restoration, UNESCO apparently did it properly.
Andreea Tudor The carved stones really look durable after that UNESCO restoration. Does anyone know if the fountain is open to visitors and what the visiting hours are?
