City Of Volubilis Morocco

Throwback travel thursday takes us to Roman ruins located in Morocco. It’s the city of Volubilis, first built in 3rd century BC. Roman rule supercharged the city’s expansion and it grew to cover roughly 100 acres during the 1st century. The city was one of Rome’s most remote outposts and Roman control over the city only lasted until around 280 AD as local tribes took over. It was inhabited by many other groups though the centuries but by the 11th century was essentially abandoned. In 1997 it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and now many come to marvel at the preserved ruins that remain.
