Roman City

#celebratewithtrip After Chefchaouen, I will now proceed to Fes, on the way will stop at Volubilis, a partially excavated Roman archaeological site around 165 kilometers 170 minutes drive from Chefchaouen. Volubilis under Roman rule from the 1st century BC, it is surrounded by walls with perimeter 2.6 kilometers. In the 2nd century, the city was endowed with a number of public buildings, notably a basilica, a temple and an arch of triumph. The ruins remained practically intact until they were razed by the 1755 earthquake ( the one at Lisbon ). In the late 19th century, the site was named as the ancient city of Volubilis, many mosaics were discovered, part of the important buildings restored or rebuilt. The ruins have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Volubilis is open daily from 0830- 1830, with a 70 dirhams entrance fee.
