Forum and Capitoline Temple, Volubilis, Meknes-Tafilalet
Ruined pillars of the Forum or marketplace in the foreground, and the columns of the tetrastyle Capitoline Temple in the background, built 218 AD on top of an existing shrine, Volubilis, Northern Morocco. Volubilis was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Phoenicians and was a Roman settlement from the 1st century AD. Volubilis was a thriving Roman olive growing town until 280 AD and was settled until the 11th century. The buildings were largely destroyed by an earthquake in the 18th century and have since been excavated and partly restored. Volubilis was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
