Ksar Ouled Debbab

The Ksar features multiple levels of traditional ghorfas, rectangular chambers built into stone walls, forming a continuous structure around a central courtyard.

Built during the 16th century, this fortified structure served as a communal grain storage facility for Berber tribes protecting their harvests from raids.
