Volubilis
House of Columns on the Decumanus, Volubilis, Morocco, pictured on December 25, 2009. Beneath a cloudy winter sky the road leads past the facade of this impressive ruined house. Around the city fertile plains providing agriculural produce stretch towards the mountains. Volubilis, founded in the 3rd century BC was an important city in the Western part of Roman North Africa. The Romans abandoned it in the 3rd century AD. Excavations were started by the French in 1915, and it became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997. Picture by Manuel Cohen
