{{coord|33|53|32|N|35|29|54|E|display=title}}Zuqaq al-Blat ({{lang-ar|زقاق البلاط}}) is one of the twelve quarters of Beirut.[1]

Etymology

Zoqaq al-Blat literally means "the cobbled alley", this was a colloquial name given to the street extending from the old city to the Qantari hill and which was covered with cobblestones in the 19th century.[2]

Zuqaq al-Blat is also commonly called "al-miBatrakieh" ({{lang-ar|البطركية}}, the Patriarchate) due to the presence of the seat of the Greek Catholic Patriarchate of Beirut within its borders.[2]

History

Once a medieval walled port town, Beirut experienced rapid growth during the second half of the 19th century; the overcrowded city developed beyond its walls and the affluent citizens started to build their villas on the slopes of the surrounding hills, namely Ashrafieh, Qnatari and Musaytbeh.[3][4]

In 1832 Beirut came under the occupation of Ibrahim Pasha's troops. The new Egyptian authorities undertook grand works of urban planning and sanitation. The appointed Egyptian-Circassian governor of Beirut, Mahmoud Naami Bey commissioned street cobbling works which stretched beyond the city's walls, the street extending from the south-western side of the city wall into the new extramural neighborhoods on the Qantari hill came to be known as Zoqaq al-Blat and gave its name to the quarter.[5]
