For the history of the Consulate see: Lisi, Rete consolare (2024), p. 158-167.
The Consulate of the Kingdom of Sardinia in Beirut is established in 1825. In November 1825 the first ruling consul was installed. The district includes the territory covering Palestine, Syria, the Pascialik of Aleppo, and the island of Cyprus.
In 1833, the Consulate was downgraded to a Vice-Consulate; from that date until 1842, the Vice-Consulate was dependent on the Consulate General in Alexandria, Egypt.
From 1842, the Vice-Consulate of Beirut, following the establishment of the Consulate of Jerusalem, was placed under the authority of the Consulate General of Constantinople.
In 1845, Haifa, Damascus and Tyre, which had become dependent on the Consulate in Jerusalem, returned to dependence on Beirut.
In 1849, following the closure of the Consulate in Jerusalem, the office in Beirut was elevated to the rank of consulate.
