Volubilis

Ancient Capital of Mauretania Tingitana

Set on a fertile hillside carpeted with silver olive groves, Volubilis (Walili) stands as Morocco’s most extensive and breathtaking archaeological treasure. Once a thriving Roman provincial capital of twenty thousand inhabitants, the city flourished through olive oil trade and monumental civic architecture, leaving behind a remarkably intact cityscape spanning basilicas, temples, and palatial residences.

Mosaics in Situ and Sacred Zerhoun Hills

What distinguishes Volubilis from many Mediterranean Roman sites is that its masterwork polychrome mosaics remain in situ, exposed to the open sky just as their patrician owners commissioned them. Stroll along the Decumanus Maximus past the Arch of Caracalla, gazing across the green Zerhoun valleys toward the nearby whitewashed pilgrimage town of Moulay Idriss.
