Ujkal stores, the oldest banks in the world, Morocco

  • l’année dernière
Ujkal warehouses, Boutfarda community, Beni Mellal province in Morocco, are among the oldest banks in the world. They were built since ancient times to store valuable commodities for the Berbers. The place was chosen in the middle of a mountain where it is difficult to go up to it from the bottom or go down to it from the top, and it has one outlet. Under strict security, it is accessed during that period at a continuous time from sunrise to sunset, by means of a secret number provided to the guard, while at night it is forbidden to approach it or wander near it.
