Count de Zogheb’s Memories: A Record of Alexandria’s Golden Era
Published in 1949, "Alexandria Memories" by Count Patrice de Zogheb stands as a rare historical document capturing the architectural and social essence of Alexandria during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book chronicles the history of the iconic "Palais Zogheb" on Rue Fouad (formerly Rosetta Street), tracing its Second Empire architecture, the urban impact of the 1882 bombardment, and the vibrant cosmopolitan lifestyle of the city’s elite, clubs, theaters, and Khedivial court. It offers an invaluable narrative of Alexandria's transformation through the personal memories of one of its most prominent families.
