Ksar Nalut, Fortified granary in Nalut District, Libya.

The Ksar Nalut complex includes storage rooms built with stone and clay materials on a hill at 599 meters elevation in western Libya.

The construction of Ksar Nalut in the 11th century provided North African Berber communities with protection for their grain supplies against regional raiders.

The interconnected chambers within Ksar Nalut demonstrate the architectural methods and communal organization of traditional Berber agricultural societies.

Visitors reach Ksar Nalut by road through the town of Nalut, where local guides share knowledge about the historical granary structure.

The elevated position of Ksar Nalut allowed inhabitants to monitor the surrounding mountains while maintaining a secure storage facility for food supplies.
