Chellah Castle

It’s UNESCO archeological site with historical significance. Hot spot for visitors at Rabat The site is described as an oasis of peace, surrounded by vibrant green gardens and featuring dramatic, overgrown ruins that provide a fairytale-like experience.The most iconic aspect is the large colony of storks that nest on top of the ruined minarets and walls, with their constant clicking and presence adding a mystical, unforgettable ambiance.Visitors can explore the ornate Bab Chellah gate, a ruined Marinid mosque, a zaouia (shrine), and a Roman pool.

Chellah Castle is a nice place to visit. It has stunning architecture with sandstone walls. The setting of the castle offers nice views to the eye. The complex has gardens, historic ruins, patios and a cafe. The presence of storks also adds to the ambience of the location. This place is a must visit when in Rabat. Tickets are reasonable compared with what you pay for anything in Marrakesh. Please note that you are not allowed to use a normal camera in the complex. No issues taking pictures with your mobile phone though.

is a unique historical site that beautifully combines history and nature. The Roman and Marinid ruins create a special atmosphere, and the peaceful environment makes it a great place for walking and photography, away from the city noise. The gardens are lovely and the overall ambiance is very relaxing, especially in spring. While the site could benefit from more informational signs and services, the experience is still enjoyable and definitely worth a visit when in Rabat.

How beautiful is this place , stunning. Three civilisations one after the other in such a beautiful setting. The Storks make it even more beautiful. Fantastic history to see . Well worth the money , I paid the extra for audio and self guide , so I could take my time . Enjoy the gardens too , just incredible. Rabat the city and here are just beautiful and full of history.

This historic site is something worth a visit to Rabat. You need at least two hours to truly enjoy this place and take in the history, stories behind the ruins and wander every nook and corner. Make sure you’re either on a guided tour or at the entrance they provide headphones and detailed guidance.

The Kasbah and the neighborhood of the Mausoleum was amazing and I didn't have high expectation from the Chellah Castle but this place was better than anything else in Rabat (and the other places are amazing...). The nature, the history and the Moroccan culture are creating an amazing vibe and you just can't stop droping your jaw and taking photos. Also I have never seen that much storks at one place. This place is amazing.

A lovely place! Storks are neat. Gardens are well tended. Parking is free. Ticket prices are reasonable. Roman ruins are excellent. We really enjoyed the lalce. Staff was friendly.

Absolutely wonderful archeological and historic site. The walking path is well marked with site signs. There is also an audio program that can be rented. The grounds are beautifully maintained with plantings that were new to me. Just gorgeous.
