North Africa, Berber Ksar,19th Century

Berber cave dwellings on hill, Chenini, Tunisia. Chenini is a ruined Berber village in southern Tunisia. Located on a hilltop near a modern village of the same name, Chenini was a fortified ksar (plural ksour.) A ksar is the North African term for Berber castle (Berber fortified village). Like other ksour created by North African Berber communities, Chenini was built on a hilltop - in this instance, between two hilltop ridges - to help protect it from raiding parties. The oldest structures on the hillside date back to the 12th century. The building material of the entire structure is normally adobe, or cut stone and adobe. F. Soler, circa 1880 and 1900.
