Gloriette not just any banquette!

This first post is dedicated to Gloriette. Because we can now answer the question " Who is the artist behind that unusual and captivating bench?" 


Gloriette is a recreation of "the famous Spaghetti Bench by Pablo Reinoso" using metal. And today almost every tourist or Beirut Souks visitor has taken a picture of Gloriette.


Gloriette is becoming a hang out place, a place where couples meet and children play (when the security guards aren't looking:P). 


She is one of the jewels of the Gold Souks.
