MOROCCO: Roman Ruins and Blue Cities in Northern Morocco

If you didn't know there were Roman ruins in Morocco, don't be embarrassed, neither did I. 

Volubilis, in north western Morocco, was founded in the 3rd century B.C. 

In the 1st century A.D., under Roman rule, it expanded dramatically and became an important outpost of the Empire. 

It was located in fertile land that was perfect for agriculture and far from the chaos of Ancient Rome. 

Volubilis was an exotic paradise in the Roman Empire.

Now, the ruined Roman city is the best-preserved archaeological site in Morocco. 

It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997.
