Treasures from the Historic Harbour City of Chellah are on Display in Morocco

The millennia-long history of Chellah, an archaeological site close to Rabat that represents Morocco’s rich cultural legacy, is being highlighted in an exhibition in Morocco.

Nearly five times the size of Pompeii, Chellah is a 1.2-square-mile (3.15-square-kilometer) UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It was once a thriving port city close to the capital of present-day Morocco, according to archaeologists. Viewers may get up close and personal with Chellah’s “hidden treasures,” according to a sign at the entrance to the show, which is being housed in Morocco’s central bank museum.
