HAÏDRA:
Building with Troughs
Building with Troughs, Haïdra, Tunisia


Building with Troughs, Haïdra, Tunisia


One doesn't really know the exact purpose of this attractive structure. It has stone basins which are topped by two slim arcades. You cannot help wonder how these have survived 2 millennia, they truly seem so fragile.
One suggestion is that this building was used for grain storage, but it seems too finely made for such a mundane purpose.
