    The ruins of Chela are the remains of the royal mausoleums of the ancient city of Chela during the Meyninid dynasty of Morocco. It is located near the royal palace and was reduced to ruins during the Lisbon earthquake in 1775. It is now overgrown with grass and has become a habitat for storks.

    I really love the Rabat old town. It's small but it has great ocean views, meandering small streets, blue walls, and so much colour everywhere. Steeped in so much history, I could have stayed a bit longer here to take more photos.
