The story behind the place
Ha Kome is known for homes built into a natural rock shelter in Lesotho's Berea district. The plastered fronts, curved doorways and sheltered forecourt show how buildings can work with an existing cliff. The caves remain a lived cultural place, with descendants of the families associated with the settlement still connected to it.
