Keserwan District, Administrative district in Mount Lebanon, Lebanon.
The Keserwan District covers 336 square kilometers of territory northeast of Beirut, with Jounieh serving as its administrative center and main coastal city.
The district's name originates from Muqadam Kisra of Baskinta, and during the Crusades period this region marked the northern border of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa stands as a major religious structure within the district, drawing numerous visitors throughout the year.
The district operates within the Keserwan-Byblos electoral constituency, which maintains five designated Maronite seats for regional representation in the Lebanese parliament.
Local families, including the Assaf dynasty and Khazen family, received recognition from Sultan Selim I as chief administrators between Beirut and Tripoli.
