    Volubilis, also Walili, is a Berber and Roman city in Morocco situated near Meknas. Built in a fertile agricultural area, it developed from the 3rd century BC onward as an Amazighs, then proto-Carthaginian, settlement before being the capital of the kingdom of Mauretania. It grew rapidly under Roman rule from the 1st century AD onward. The city gained a number of major public buildings in the 2nd century, including a basilica, temple and triumphal arch. Volubilis was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
    The site is a UNESCO World Heritage site with the official name, Archaeological Site of Volubilis.
