Cisterns of Carthage

The Cisterns of Carthage are ancient underground water storage tanks built by the Carthaginians in modern-day Tunisia. These large underground reservoirs, some holding thousands of cubic meters of water, were used to ensure a reliable water supply for the city, especially during droughts or sieges. Constructed with expertly fitted stone or concrete, they reflect advanced engineering for their time. Today, they are visited as historic sites, showcasing the ingenuity of Carthaginian civilization in managing resources for urban sustainability.
