COUVENT SAINT FRANÇOIS

This is an option for travellers who would like to stay in Tripoli and who would like to stay at a lower price in El Mina. Located not far from the coast, near the central roundabout, this Franciscan convent founded in 1217 by the Crusaders opened a few rooms for tourists to finance their many social and religious projects. These, although austere, are perfectly held and clean. The place invites to meditation and rest. As their accommodation capacity is limited, it is necessary to book well in advance, as their rooms are in high demand in this city that does not have many hotels
