Al-Sughra Village
Al-Sughra Village
Brief
The small village is located in the Al-Baha area, and is about 27 km to the northwest from the center of Al-Baha city, which is one of the villages of Bani Hassan. The village houses were built according to the natural location of the mountain slope, which necessitated special treatment from the builders in strengthening the facades of the buildings. Thus, the buildings appeared monolithic and narrow corridors to meet the defensive need. Most of its houses consist of one or two floors, and they are abandoned and destroyed. Its walls were built using stones packed on top of each other in an artistic way that required high professional experience, and their short was made from the inside with a thick layer of clay and milk. The building was done using stone according to the shape of its natural section, which is in different sizes and various shapes, and it is noted that the construction craftsmen have created in the formations of external facades and architectural openings through the protrusions of the stone. The roofs were also built using tree trunks with a layer of tree branches above it, and above it mud and milk. A number of houses found roofs based on rectangular wooden columns topped by a piece of the largest area that resembles the crown of the column and was known locally as (Al-Mazrah). Al-Mazrah is considered a distinctive architectural element of this architectural style in that area. The doors and windows of the houses were distinguished by their thickness and were made of thick tree wood. A decorated wooden frame around the architectural openings can be observed and a number of recent additions can be seen on top of a number of buildings.
