Agricultural production and animal husbandry comprise the basis of rural life. In the past, accessing the products in every season that were produced from these activities, which were performed as subsistence, was crucial for the continuity of life. Since the first agricultural societies, the people developed different strategies to dry or to protect and store seasonal products to use for different purposes in a year. Then, the necessity of a structure that would store and protect the product from climate elements such as rain and heat and the negative influence of animals such as rats, bug, and snakes occurred. The main purpose of this study is to explain the warehouses built by the societies living in different parts of the world to store their food and the similar features (architecture, usage and ethnographic) of these warehouses. The part of data which contains samples in Turkey has been obtained from land studies in the Black Sea Region (Sinop, Samsun, Trabzon, Rize and Artvin) and the publications and the World samples have been obtained from the related websites and the related international publications. In different regions of the world, it has been found that structures with similar architectural features have emerged, although the construction types and building materials are different (sometimes wooden, sometimes stone, and sometimes both). As a result, people have developed common solutions, unaware of each other, to solve the food safety problem they encounter in times of difficult transportation and communication.
