About this site

Less known than Lixus or Tamuda, the ancient site of Cotta was among the Roman settlements that dotted Morocco's northern coast facing the Strait of Gibraltar. The remaining ruins — associated notably with a fish-salting activity, as at Lixus — shed light on the trade network that connected this region to the wider ancient Mediterranean world.
