HDH-VKD-15 | Bodu Faaru Kolhu

This large wall is called Bodu Faaru, and the entire area is known as Bodu Faaru Corfu. The wall was built to surround the entire southern side of the island to protect it from erosion and other things. The main reason for the construction of the wall however, might have been to protect mangroves on the south side of the island. Mangroves were a major food source for the community at the time. he wall has undergone several restoration.
