The churches and monasteries of Achqout are at the centre of Zeina Henri Khalil’s new work, published in 2026. Entitled  » في .

The churches and monasteries of Achqout as local memory

The project is presented as a documentary work combining history and architecture. It approaches the buildings through their place in the spiritual and urban identity of the village. This approach places the religious building in a local setting, at the crossroads of the memory of the places and their presence in the landscape.

This publication draws attention to a heritage at the scale of a municipality. It is an invitation to discover the researcher’s work, rather than an inventory that could be reconstructed from her only announcement. The publisher, the conditions for dissemination and the detailed list of monuments studied remain to be specified.
