We kicked off the day with a visit to a Roman outpost dating to the early first century. At its height, it housed 20-30,000 Roman citizens, not including their many slaves. I’ve seen a lot of Roman ruins and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this one more than I expected.

The large building in the back started as a judicial office and converted into a church when the Roman religion became Christianity.

The city was an oil production center, all of the olive presses were imported from Gibraltar.

Volubilis means “morning glory” which was found along side many other wild flowers for the season, it felt like the perfect time to see the ruins with them all in bloom.

Probably the biggest surprise for me was the well preserved mosaics.

And here’s just some fun other shots for you!

And here’s a view of another village in a quite picturesque setting just for the fun of it!
