Unique Nalut

One of the most amazing places to visit in Libya is Nalut in the Nafusa mountains, this small town has unique examples of "primitve" architecture: the grain stores. Built out of dried mud bricks and wood, they are a cross between a labrynth and a beehive with "balconies" that act as entrance landings. If the photos in the website below remind you of Star Wars it's because Tunisia has a similar compound that was used in some scenes. http://www.jorgetutor.com/libia/nalut/nalut.htm Sign in to see full entry.
