Heri Es-Souani Granary In Meknes, Morocco

Heri es-Souani royal granary in the city of Meknes, Morocco. Heri es Souani (Heri es-Souani) is an ancient Royal granary built in the 17th Century by Sultan Moulay Ismail. The royal granary was built to withstand a decade-long siege and had massive walls (4m thick) with arched ceilings and an underground fresh water system. The high ceilings and small windows kept the complex cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and helped air circulation (important for preventing grain spoilage). The granary stored grain and hay for the adjacent royal stables. An army of cats helped with rodent control. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
