Carthage, Archaeological site in Tunis, Tunisia

The remains of ancient Carthage extend across multiple excavation sites, featuring Roman villas, thermal baths, theaters, and maritime structures near the Mediterranean coast.

Founded by Phoenicians in the 9th century BC, Carthage developed into a maritime empire before its destruction by Romans in 146 BC and subsequent rebuilding.

The Carthage National Museum displays Punic and Roman artifacts, including mosaics, sculptures, and objects from daily life in the ancient metropolis.

Visitors can purchase a combined ticket that grants access to eight archaeological areas, including the Antonine Baths, Roman Theater, and Punic Ports.

The ancient artificial military harbor retains its circular shape, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of Carthaginian naval architects from the 2nd century BC.
