Carthage Essentials

Carthage, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases the layered history of the Punic and Roman empires along the Tunisian coast. This collection features the Baths of Antoninus, once the largest in Africa, and the circular Punic military port, a marvel of ancient maritime engineering. Visitors can explore the sacrificial Tophet of Salammbô, hillside Roman villas with restored mosaics, and the massive vaulted cisterns of Borj-Jedid. From the Roman theater to the early Christian ruins at the Paleo-Christian Museum, these sites provide a comprehensive look at one of antiquity's most influential cities.
