Love how each house was aligned row by row and neatly. If you analyse it, you can see that the houses in the back were larges and windowed, were they the homes of officials/the rulers?

Can any somali history specialist answer this?

This is very Iconic of Somalia but was it Italian Built?

Those were all built relatively recently, like the past 70-100 years lol.

Interesting thread, but how can we DEFINE Somali architecture.

If we can define it, we can bring it back lol.

I think Somali architecture should be defined by the Somali city states of days old.

Like Merka, Berbera, Mogadishu etc.

You guys are posting forts from less then 100 years ago as examples of somali architecture lol
