House Of Orpheus, Volubilis

Volubilis, Morocco

House of Orpheus is a large complex of rooms that were part of a large mansion of one of the city’s richest merchants.
It is divided into public and private sections, each with a separate entrance and interior court.
You come first to the private rooms, designed around a small patio and decorated in a somewhat intact dolphin mosaic.
Further inside are the public apartments, grouped around a large atrium, a reception hall and a half central court.
In one of the rooms there is also a big mosaic that gave its name to the house, the Orpheus Myth.
