There are significant Lebanese Maronite Christian communities that reside in Belgium, many of whom are descendants of traders who settled during the 19th century. The majority of them live in major cities, such as Antwerp and Brussels. Many them are involved in the trade of diamonds in the diamond district of Antwerp.[3]
