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 must-visit with you are passing Meknes and Fes. Truly beautiful. It is hard to believe that the Romans extended here. Plan for 2-3 hours.

Well preserved Roman ruins. We used a local guide which helped us understand the rich history of this site and the people who lived here. Worth a stop on the way from Chefchaouen to Fez.

Although curator claims that this site remained buried for many years, there are not so many pieces. Kind of neglected. Poorly curated. Other Roman ruins south of the Mediterranean are more enticing

If you're into your history and would enjoy visiting Roman ruins then this is the place for you. The area is well preserved and the historical artifacts and easily accessible... 🇬🇧 > 🇲🇦
