Above: Chellah, the site of Sala Colonia, an ancient Roman colony before it was abandoned in Late Antiquity.
In the late 13th century the site began to be used as a dynastic necropolis for the Marinid dynasty.
By the mid-14th century Marinid sultans had enclosed a part of the site with a new set of walls and built a religious complex inside it to accompany their mausoleums.
In the 15th century the necropolis began to decline and it suffered damage over the centuries due to earthquakes and looting.
It's unfortunately under renovation and closed to visitors.
