al saray
In 1898, the governor Naoum Basha established a seat for the government in Amioun which was to include several governmental directorates, including a police station. The original location of this building was in the Al-Dar quartier, but the female citizens protested against the passing of officers all day long in front of their houses and the executions being conducted nearby, which led to the relocation of this seat to a place away from the residential areas. Therefore, Saray Amioun was relocated from Al-Dar quartier in the west to its current place in eastern Amioun on the top hill near Saint Marina Cave. The Saray now includes an office for Koura's general security, a jail, a court-house, a directorate general of real estate, a directorate general of urban planning (Koura Directorate), Electricity of Lebanon (Kadisha), and the National News Agency.
