The Entrance of Chellah

The ruins of Chellah rest in the city of Rabat (capital), Morocco. Chellah was an early Phoenician settlement situated along the edge of the Bou Regreg River. The Romans eventually came through and took over. This ancient monument was considered the farthest colony south of Rome. The Almohad Dynasty used it as an necropolis and in the mid-14 century, a Merinid sultan named Abu-I Hasan built a mosque and royal tombs. It was abandoned in 1154 A.D.
