This site was one of our highlights. Literally translating to morning glory for the vines of climbing flowers, Volubilis was once a thriving town 10,000 strong, but it is now a 100 acre Roman Ruin. The aqueducts are in evidence (though the water source has long since dried up), and there are some moderately well preserved mosaics reminiscent of those in Pompeii (though nowhere as well preserved). Explorers of this site can wander around almost unrestricted, taking in the once grand homes and temples, not to mention the public meeting place and forum. Highly recommend this of you're visiting Morocco and it's a couple of hour drive from Casablanca.
