Agadir (granary)

[1][2] In Morocco, agadirs are most commonly found in the regions of the High Atlas, the Anti-Atlas mountains, and the Draa Valley.

[4] Fortified granaries are also common in southern Tunisia, where they are referred to as a kasbah or, in the case of another type, as a ghorfa.

[3] The term agadir is Amazigh, borrowed from Phoenician: ‬𐤀𐤂𐤃𐤓, romanized: ʾgdr,[5] meaning "wall", "compound", or (by metonymy) "stronghold".

[5] The word al-Makhzen (المخزن), used to refer to the Moroccan state apparatus, also means storehouse, but in Arabic.

Some of the large examples built in dry stone consist of multi-story structures laid out along narrow internal alleys.
