From Fes we went for a morning to the Roman ruins at Volubilis a 90 minutes drive.
I was surprised to learn that the Romans had colonised what is now Morocco and had built their usual impressive structures, with of course the inevitable mosaic floors, some of which remain intact.
In fact, Morocco is home to several Roman ruins, with Volubilis being the most notable. The ancient city, founded in the 3rd century BC, was the capital of the Kingdom of Mauretania and an important outpost of the Roman Empire.
It was hot wandering the ruins but here are a few photos which give some impression of the impressive structures.
