Portico, Volubilis, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco
Portico of a large house West of the Palace of Gordian on the Decumanus Maximus, with arches forming the facade of shops, North East quarter, Volubilis, Northern Morocco. The house is built around a small peristyle courtyard with a central pool and shops on both facades, with a secondary apartment with heated rooms to the North East. 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.
