Tasguent agadir

The Tasguent agadir is divided into individual cells spread over several floors and whose contents are recorded on wooden rolls.

It lost its function like most of the agadirs of the region with the pacification and the improvement of the food situation that accompanies the colonial period.

Unlike other adobe constructions in southern Morocco (tighremts and kasbahs), which have also become useless, the agadir of Tasguent was possibly used in the 19th and 20th centuries by the inhabitants for various purposes.

The opposite is also observed, the difficulty of maintaining these climate sensitive places mainly built in adobe leads to their rapid deterioration without substantial investment often inseparable from tourism.

Each storage cell is closed by a wooden door, often decorated and usually with an opening allowing the free movement of cats ensuring a low rodent population.
