Anicent sufi shrines where?

[Midas]

I was thinking about what sort of Accenture has survived in somalia that is at least a couple centuries old. The first thing that occurred to me was the mosques in Mogadishu. The second was sufi shrines which I've seen the occasional picture of. Considering hwo much peopel go out of their way to protect them . How many old ones ones do we have? Like I'm talking 300+ years old. I know there is one in zeila. Also are there any old mosques still intact outside mogdishu/merca/barawe

There’s the shrine of Sheikh Hassan in a town named after him in the Bale province of Ethiopia. He lived in the 13th century.

Many shrines in areas that were or still are in the control of Al-Kebab were destroyed.

Ancient Mosque between Garowe and Bosaso

I remember seeing another mosque picture floating around attributed to Hafun , haven't really found confirmation on that one.

The rest of the surviving ancient mosques and shrines that are like 300+ years old and so that are not in ruins seem to be concentrated in Harar. But we all know the story there, unfortunately. There might be a few in other places in Ogaden and around Bur/Juba area.

Among the old major coastal towns in the north like Zayla, Hafun, Bosaso, Maydh, and Berbera haven't fared well due to late 1800s and early 1920 bombardment by colonialists from the sea, and in the 1500s and partial abandonement or full abandonment with Zayla due to french railroad system. Same with other smaller settlements.
