Ghorfa
A ghorfa (Arabic: غرفة, lit. 'room') is a type of communal granary found mainly in southern Tunisia.[1] Similar structures are also found in northeastern Libya.[2] They are associated in particular with Berber settlements in these regions.[2][1] They consist of a collection of vaulted rooms built in rows and stacked in multiple stories organized around an internal courtyard.
