Archaeological site of Carthage, Archaeological site in Carthage, Tunisia.
The archaeological complex spans 600 hectares across the Gulf of Tunis, containing ancient Punic ports, Roman villas, and monumental thermal baths.
The Phoenicians established Carthage in the 9th century BC, which developed into a Mediterranean power until Romans destroyed it in 146 BC.
