 The name derives from Aramaic and means "The house of my Lord".On one of the three hills of Beit Mery (Southern end of town) along the Lebanon Western mountain range are the ruins of the old Phoenician and Roman temples that were erected in the same general area in what is now known as Deir El-Qala'a (دير القلعة).At present, a Christian church and monastery sit on top of parts of the old Roman temple.
