Introduction

My favorite place in Rabat was the Chellah Necropolis. It features a sprawling site of amazing ruins that you can explore for hours! There are cats everywhere, and after a while I gave up trying to count them.

About

Most of the ruins you see here were built by the Marinids in the 13th century. Prior to the 13th century, this was the location of Phoenician, and later Roman, colonies.
