Description
Volubilis is an ancient Berber and Roman city located near the city of Meknes, Morocco. It was the ancient capital of the kingdom of Mauretania. As the city grew and developed, it gained a number of major public buildings, including a basilica, temple and triumphal arch, which can be identified in the ruins. Its prosperity came mainly from olive growing. The evening I visited, my group was heading back to the van, due to the overcast skies. When we saw a break in the clouds, we rushed back, hoping for some beautiful sunset light, and were treated to this lovely warm light on the ruins.
