The Petit Serail (Arabic: السراي الصغير‎ / ALA-LC: as-sarāy as- ṣaghir; literally "Little Saray"); was a historic administrative Ottoman building that housed the seat of the Wali of Syria and Beirut. It was situated to the northern side of Martyrs' Square at the heart of the Beirut Central District. The building was the scene of important historical events, but plans to enlarge Beirut's main square led to its destruction in 1950.
