Ras Bar Balla (Somali: Raas Bar Balla) is a historic town in the southern Lower Juba region of Somalia.
Overview
[edit | edit source]An ancient area of occupation, Ras Bar Balla is situated on a small promontory. The settlement contains two tombs: one decorated with rectangular panels, the other plain in design. Today, it is mainly used as a resting place for Somali herders and their flock.[1] It is believed[by whom?] to date back to the powerful Ajuran Empire[citation needed].
