“Mogadiscio – Caravana in formazione davanti alla Dogana”
Postcard sent 20/5/1913
Italian translates as “Caravan in formation in front of the Customs” The large white building with three windows on its top left, appears on multiple photos on this website.
Approximate location on Google Maps The area where the camels are was subsequently built over, I think. It opened out to the beach on the right.
