Taken in the 1950’s, possibly. Note sheltered “harbour” on the left. This was cut out of the ricks. In the 1980s there were still the remnants of a circular staircase cut into the stone that went down to the sea level on inside of the harbour. I am not sure if this was built before after the Italian occupation of Mogadishu.
