The area is classified as non aedificandi (Latin for "not to be built") in the Master Plan of the Beirut City Center. Excavations on the site revealed the two main streets of the Roman city of Berytus, the Cardo and Decumanus Maximus; underneath them, a sacred platform dating from Phoenico-Persian times.
