Discover the mix of Berber and Roman history and architecture at Archaeological Site of Volubilis, a partially excavated ancient city, now a World Heritage Site. After coming under Roman rule in the 1st century CE, the town quickly grew into a large colonial Roman city on the edge of the empire. The triumphal arch and basilica stand as the most impressive structures of the archaeological site: note their distinctly Roman style reinterpreted into a North African context, making use of local materials and several regional motifs.

This is a great site to visit with a guide! Just by itself, without a guide, it's still pretty cool, but our guide made the place come alive. The stories are awesome. What ruins you'll see were...

Volubilis is a partly excavated Berber-Roman city not far from Meknes in Morocco. It is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage site. It is definitely worth a visit, very beautiful area with an exceptionally well preserved example of a Roman colonial town. Be prepared for a warm walk (extreme temperatures in July, >40 degrees Celsius). Bring lots of water and something to eat. There is a small cafeteria on the site offering some drinks. Restrooms are available. Parking is just aside the site.
