Overview

Ferzol, also spelled Forzol, Ferzul or Fourzol, is a village located in the Zahlé District of the Beqaa Governorate in Lebanon. It lies approximately six to eight kilometres north of Zahlé, the principal city of the Beqaa Valley, along the road toward Baalbek, at an elevation of roughly 1,000 metres above sea level. It is situated south of Nabi Ayla and west of Ablah. Today, Ferzol is home to a mostly Melkite Greek Catholic community, and is administratively part of the broader Zahlé municipality, though it maintains its own municipal council.
