Volubilis Forum



The forum is the part of Volubilis which perhaps suffered most from Moulay Ismail's depredations but if it didn't exist the english romantic landscape movement would have had to have built it. It has sweeping views and and intersting wild life and is home to the resident storks.
The two most noticeable remains are the basilica law courts and the triumphal arch although there are a couple of public baths and temples. None have any surviving mosaics although inscriptions suggest they all date from a rebuilding around 217CE.
