casbah
A casbah is a traditional North African fortress or castle, typically found in old cities. It originates from the Arabic word 'kasbah', which means central part or citadel of a city. The term is often associated with the urban areas of Algeria, Morocco, or Tunisia. It's characterized by narrow winding streets, high walls, and often serves as the administrative and political hub of the city. The most famous example is the Casbah of Algiers, in Algeria.
