Batha (Template:Lang-ar) is a village in the Keserwan District of the Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate of Lebanon. It is located 28 kilometers northern the Lebanese capital Beirut,[1] and to the east of Jounieh Bay, with a view of the Mediterranean sea, with average elevation of 580 meters above sea level and total land area approximately 63 hectares.[1] A water spring flows through the pine and oak tree forests to the north of Batha, watering gardens and orchards before emptying in the Mediterranean sea.
The inhabitants of the town are predominantly Maronite Catholics.[2] Batha is the hometown of Lebanese painter Michel Elmir (1930–1973). The principal families of Batha are Skayem, El-Mir, Oueiny, Mansour, Abi Zeid, Safady, Aoun, Samia, Hassoun, Chayeb, and Semerjiyan.
