Gasr Alasaba
The ancient building is a fortified granary located in Alasaba[1] town in the Nafusa Mountains in Libya. The old stone Ksar is more than 500 years old and its construction method is very primitive. It was established for the purpose of preservation and storage. Similar castles are often built in a circular shape as well. They consist of many rooms and basements. The benefit of the rooms and their compartments is to preserve crops and grains such as wheat and barley in order to store them for as long as possible. Meanwhile, the basements were used to store and preserve olive oil.[2]
