Pigeon Tower
The Pigeon Tower is a unique architectural structure designed for housing pigeons, primarily used in the Middle East and parts of North Africa. These towers often feature multiple compartments, allowing for the breeding and collection of pigeons, which were valued for their meat and as messengers.
Typically made from mud bricks or stone, the towers can reach impressive heights, providing a safe environment for the birds. The design also helps to regulate temperature and protect the pigeons from predators. The pigeon has historically played a significant role in communication and agriculture, making these towers important in their respective cultures.
