4.2/ 5.0
★★★★☆
Introduction
The Chellah lies outside Rabat, layering Neolithic, Roman Sala Colonia and Merinid ruins. Broken columns, royal tombs and a wetland park meet — a quiet fold in time across two millennia, and the best spot for birdwatching and recalling the ancient city. Surviving Roman column bases sit beside Merinid tombs; wildflowers and birds along the path give the ruins quiet life.
