Chellah Necropolis
Chellah Necropolis is a medieval fortified Islamic necropolis built atop an ancient Phoenician and Roman city overlooking the Bou Regreg river in Rabat. Famed for its towering Marinid minaret, overgrown ancient stones, and massive resident stork colonies, Chellah is steeped in tales of guardian Jinn, hidden underground treasures, and sacred eel pools where local women historically sought spiritual blessings. Visitors often experience sudden eerie silences, subtle wisps of mist, and unexplained feelings of being observed among the ancient royal tombs.
