Kawkaba military base, Military fortress in South Lebanon.
Kawkaba military base is a fortress complex in the mountains of South Lebanon with walls, bunkers, and fortifications positioned strategically on elevated terrain. The structures integrate the natural topography of the landscape into their defensive design.
The installation was founded as a military position during regional conflicts and served as a fortification for decades. It was abandoned in 2000 and marks a key phase in the country's military history.
The base represents a significant chapter in Lebanon's military heritage, influencing the development of defense strategies in the region.
The site sits on elevated ground and is not freely accessible today as it remains a former military compound. Visitors should check with local authorities beforehand to understand any access restrictions that may apply.
The base incorporated natural terrain features into its defense system, making it different from conventional military installations in the area.
