It was the place for the local leader to live and as a defense when the city was under attack. A kasbah has high walls which usually have no windows. Sometimes, they were built on the top of hills to make them easier to defend. Some of them were also placed near the entrance of harbours.

The word [[casbah]] has a slightly different meaning. The Spanish word ''[[alcazaba]]'' is a cognate naming the equivalent building in Andalusia or [[Moorish Spain]].
