Ruins
of Shali
The ruins of Shali dates back to the 13th century,
and was in full use until 3 days of heavy rain
destroyed it in 1926. The houses were originally
built to last a couple of decades, then be rebuilt
or fixed after light rain. The building material
was kershef, a mixture of salt and clay. It is not
water-proof.
