Ksar Nalut, Nalut - Libya Source: evysinspirations.tumblr.com via ThePandemicRhapsody on Pinterest

'Ksar' or 'Ksour' (plural), is the North African Meghrebi Arabic term for 'castle'. This fortified granary ksar was constructed on top of a hilltop in the 11th century as a means of protecting the site from raiding parties during this time. It has been abandoned since the 1960's, and is now a tourist destination in the Nalut district of Western Libya.©
