Volubilis was an important Roman town that was built on the site of an earlier Carthaginian settlement, which in turn overlies a previous neolithic site. The area exhibits some of the most well preserved ruins in that part of the continent.
Every Roman town included a military and ceremonial structure in the form of a triumphal arch. These are free-standing monumental archways. The example at Volubilis is situated and the end of the main street Decumanus Maximus. Other ruins include that of The Forum columns and The Basilica 10 meter high walls. Mosaics are also on display.
