Bqosta (ar|بقسطا) is a village in the Sidon District of the South Governorate in Lebanon. It is located from Beirut.[1]
In 1875 Victor Guérin traveled in the region, and noted: "Bekousta, a village of 200 inhabitants, Maronites and United Greeks; it is located on a high hill, between the Oued Naser to the south and the Nahr el-Aouleh to the north.The small church of Bekousta, dedicated to Saint Joseph, contains in its construction a number of ashlars of ancient appearance."[2]
The village remains entirely Maronite and Greek Catholic into the modern day.[3]
