St Joseph's convent for the Lazarethan fathers.
Al Badrieh- Mejdlaya.
The Lazarethan fathers, who had lived in the mission house since 1783 in the Kanaes (churches) Road in Tripoli, had built there a small place for the cattle and the farmers who used to work in this land. This area was called Al Badrieh from the French word "PADRE".
In 1963, this place was destroyed and replaced by St Joseph's convent as a home for the mission. It was a place for confession, guidance, and spiritual and intellectual enlightenment like other convents.
People, then, began to build their houses in the neighborhood of this convent.
In the beginning of the 70's, the state took into possession a piece of land next to the convent, and built public houses that were destroyed afterwards during the incidents of 1975-1976.
During the incidents of 1975, the convent was robbed, but it was restored later on and it became a center for the novices for a while and the location of the small ecclesiast since 1981.
Today, buildings have spread all the way through the road Kobbeh-Zgharta. The oldest quarters were Haklet Karam, then Joorit Basal, then the area of the crossroads of Mejdlaya.
