Doors (Nefta Medina)

On our journey through the old quarter of Ouled ech Cherif, which is the labyrinth of small alleys in the Medina, apart from seeing the typical architecture of ochre bricks with geometric patterns, we saw the peculiarity on the doors of the houses. Wooden doors that are decorated with iron knockers (each door had a different type) and which are very strange because: * The number of latches is variable and shows the number of people who live in the house. * The "reading" of these latches is: The upper two correspond to marriage (father and mother), the founders of the family, and below are those of the children.
