Apostelkonzil
In October 1790, a Catholic bishop of Zahlé assisted at a council held in the Convent of Saint-Sauveur. The Diocese of Zahle is identical with that of Forzol, under which name it often appears. Since the 1849 Council of Jerusalem, the bishop bears the titles of Forzol, Zahle, and Beqaa. Since 1768 his residence has been at Zahle.
