Hasroun, center of the village

View of Hasroun

It owes its nickname of the Rose of Mount Lebanon [1] to its predominantly red-tiled roof houses. The population is Maronite Catholic.

Hasroun gave the Maronite Church two Patriarchs, Patriarch Jacob Aouad (1705-1733) and Patriarch Simon Aouad (1743-1756). From Hasroun came also the noted family of orientalists, the Assemani, among them the famous Giuseppe Simone Assemani, author of Bibliotheca Orientalis and Ephraemi Syri opera omnia quae extant.

In 2014 Christians made up 99.05% of registered voters in Hasroun. 93.89% of the voters were Maronite Catholics.[2]
