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.

Walubilis Archaeological Site | Witness the once prosperous annihilation the world's most preserved ancient Roman city site, the world cultural heritage, is also the largest and most important Roman ruins in Morocco. Entering the scenic spot, the first thing you see is the towering Roman columns in the ruins of the ancient city this is the temple ruins of the ancient city. Walking in is the tallest building in the ancient city - the hall of deliberation, although it has been shocked and unrecognizable, but still can feel the original momentum. Next to the hall of deliberation, it is the famous Arc de Triomphe. The best part is the well-preserved mosaic collage floor. These mosaics are distributed between the broken walls of the living area and tell a story about Roman mythology. The mosaic particles are small, but today, more than two thousand years later, the color is still bright, and the workmanship is as if it is laid on the ground. Carpet. There will be a lot of bathroom rooms in the ruins, and the Romans like to take a shower. Standing on the ruins, it really makes people think about it, the dynasty changes, the rise and fall of the city, humanity has gone through 10,000 years, no matter how the ruler appears, how the religious beliefs change, regardless of the city and How magnificent the palace is, time will always tell us in our own way that the bustling world is fleeting. Power, reputation, and wealth will vanish, and even the ruins cannot be left behind. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the green hills are still green and the rivers are still flowing.
