After visiting the main landmarks in Rabat it was nice to see a place outside of the city. We enjoyed walking around the ruins. Definitely a must do if you visit Rabat.

Our second stopping point on our tour to Rabat. The builings and ruins are really interesting. Our only problem was that we were only allowed about 20 minutes to visit. Depending on the time of year visitors should look out for the nesting storks on the roof of the ruins of the mosque within the complex that we were told...

Chellah's Roman relics where you see the remnants of Sala Colonia, the Roman port that was abandoned in 1154. Lots of stork nests in the towers!
a bit off the beaten path, this place has great scenic vistas and is full of storks- entrance fee is about 1$ and it's a beautiful place for a stroll- go late in the day to avoid tourist buses
Chellah should be part of any Rabat itinerary. Despite being on the outskirts of the new town area (Ville Nouvelle) it's actually no further away than the Kasbah or Hassan Mosque from the train station in the centre of Rabat.

This historic site seems to be returning to its natural state - but there is the charm! Beautiful sloping site, steeped in history from Phoenician, to Roman to Arab civilisations.
this place has a surprise, not only do you visit wonderful gardens and old mosques and a church, you also see a large amount of nesting storks, its a great place to sit and watch
While the Roman ruins are not spectacular, the setting is very, very nice. The mating cackling of the storks (in Spring) are worth the visit.
Extensive ruins set on a hillside, families and groups of friends enjoying the walks through the grassy stone walls, a garden with fruit trees, a large colony of storks nesting on tops of pillars
The site has some interesting remains but their is almost no signage. Watching the storms adds a bit of nature to the visit. It is a very inexpensive petit taxi ride from the median but there were no taxis available when we were done with our visit
