Tajura very much came about in the 16th century, while Tripoli was under European occupation. The local elite established themselves here for some 40 years. And never forgot about it.
Tajura has ever since served as the easiest get-away for the inhabitants of Tripoli. Apart from its 16th century mosque with a large square minaret, all that Tajura is about is on and around the beaches.
The remains of a church in Tajura.
