Basilica of Saint Cyprian
Basilica of Saint Cyprian, Early Christian basilica in Carthage, Tunisia
The Basilica of Saint Cyprian stands on elevated ground with views extending across the Gulf of Tunis and the Mediterranean Sea.
Father Alfred Louis Delattre uncovered the remains of this fourth-century basilica during archaeological excavations conducted by the White Fathers in 1915.
The basilica contains numerous inscriptions and burial sites that demonstrate the early Christian practice of interring the dead near saints' relics.
The ruins of the basilica are located at coordinates 36.863824, 10.337791, within the archaeological site of Carthage, offering access to multiple historical structures.
The architectural design shows influences from Syrian basilicas, featuring an unconventional layout that differs from typical North African religious buildings of that period.
