Mazraeat Alqalea

This farmhouse has a unique and beautiful look that stands out from the other buildings in the area. With two towers on each corner, this forgotten colonial farmhouse looks more like a castle. Surrounded by palm trees and other greenery, it's obvious that it hasn't served a purpose in a long time. The sun had just risen above the horizon as I approached the building. Bringing to light the building's beautiful details.

The farmhouse has a Neo-Moorish and colonial architectural style. The front part of the building facade is covered with colorful painted tiles and decorative battlements above. Below two big blue doors close off the farmhouse. Some of the windows contain lead-light decorations inside curvy wooden window frames.

Looking through the windows I noticed most of the building was collapsed. The facade luckily was still standing strong. The building is listed as a heritage site. For now, it remains a reminder of the past and a testament to the creative and unique style of architecture that was popular in the colonial era.
