Punic wall of Cartagena, Carthaginian archaeological site in Cartagena, Spain.
The Punic Wall features parallel stone ramparts reaching heights of three meters, constructed with local sandstone from Cartagena's quarries.
General Asdrubal the Fair established Qart Hadasht in 227 BC, building these defensive walls until Roman forces captured the city in 209 BC.
The fortification represents the engineering methods of Carthaginian military architecture, incorporating Hellenistic defensive construction techniques from the Mediterranean region.
The Interpretation Center of the Punic Wall provides guided tours, multimedia presentations, and exhibits explaining the site's military significance through digital reconstructions.
Archaeological excavations revealed burn marks on the walls, physical evidence of the final battle between Carthaginian defenders and Roman forces under Scipio Africanus.
