These are the Berber granaries in Agadir, Southern Morocco. While nowadays we store money in banks, in ancient Morocco, people protected their valuables and goods in the collective Berber granaries - a building or rooms for storing goods. Berbers used to call them "Igudar", a plural word of Agadir in Amazigh/Berber language. The collective Berber granaries of Morocco are still little known and undiscovered, therefore a perfect off-beaten path experience for history and culture lovers.
Moroccan granaries or "Igudar" is also considered the World's oldest form of the banking system, established by the Amazigh communities inhabiting the mountains south of Morocco. Mainly concentrated around the southern city of Agadir but also found in other Moroccan regions, these ancient Berber banks have existed at least since the 1400s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2dJYV-xhyE
