Ashrafieh, Administrative division in eastern Beirut, Lebanon.
Located at Sassine Square, the highest point in Beirut, Achrafieh contains narrow winding streets alongside modern office buildings and residential complexes.
Greek Orthodox merchant families from Beirut's old city established their presence in Achrafieh during the mid-nineteenth century, constructing numerous palatial residences.
The area features several educational institutions, including Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth and Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais, which shape its intellectual environment.
The district comprises nine sectors, including Adlieh, Nashra, and Sioufi, with numerous commercial centers and transportation connections throughout eastern Beirut.
Archaeological discoveries reveal human activity dating back to antiquity, with a necropolis and water spring near Saint Demetrios Church marking ancient settlements.
