The City Walls of Aït Benhaddou are like the OG security system of this historic village in Morocco. Built back in the 11th century during the Almoravid period, these walls were no joke. They're all about protection, with corner towers and a gate to keep intruders out. Inside, you'll find a mix of buildings, from humble homes to towering structures with cool towers. Plus, there's a mosque, a caravanserai, and even a granary at the top of the hill. It's like a medieval fortress, but with that Moroccan flair.
