Description
Volubilis is an ancient Roman town located near Meknes, Morocco, between Fes and Rabat. The site was built in an agricultural area, and was first (3rd century BC) a Phoenician, and later a Carthaginian, settlement. It continued to grow under Roman rule from the 1st century AD, until around 285 AD, when it was taken over by local tribes. It continued to be inhabited for another 700 years. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Volubilis is a fascinating place to explore and photograph.
