Ksar Hallouf, Fortified granary in Medenine Governorate, Tunisia

The architecture of Ksar Hallouf features multiple chambers and storage units arranged in a fortress-like structure at 403 meters above sea level.

Built in the 13th century, this fortified settlement expanded during the mid-19th century and received restoration efforts in 2006 to preserve its structures.

The ghorfas within Ksar Hallouf reflect traditional North African Berber construction methods and agricultural storage practices of southern Tunisia.

Located at coordinates 33°17′28″N and 10°09′26″E, the site maintains regular opening hours and requires comfortable walking shoes for exploration.

The fortified granary contains multiple levels of ghorfas, traditional storage rooms that protected grain supplies from environmental factors and potential raids.
