THE VOLUBILIS SITE A fascinating archaeological site in North Africa Located on the foothills of the Zerhoun massif, 28 kilometres from Meknes, Volubilis takes its name from the Berber word Oualili, which designates the colourful flower of bindweed, a plant abundant in the region. The Roman city of Volubilis rises before you with its remains, its white marble columns, its temple and the haughty silhouette of its triumphal arch. It is the largest archaeological site in Morocco with 18 hectares, accessible to the public on a total area estimated at 40 hectares. Identified late in the 19th century, the site has been part of the protected heritage of Morocco since 1921. It has been the subject of archaeological excavations since the beginning of the 20th century. An outstanding example of an architectural ensemble illustrating the organisation of the Punic, pre-Roman and Roman administration in Africa, Volubilis is also the place of permanence of the societies that inhabited the extreme Maghreb.
