ruins of Carthage

The ruins of Carthage are the remains of an ancient city located in present-day Tunisia, once a powerful Phoenician city and rival to Rome. Established around 9th century BC, it became a major trading hub and maritime power. After several conflicts, including the Punic Wars, Rome destroyed the city in 146 BC, but it was later rebuilt as a Roman city. Today, the archaeological site includes ancient baths, forums, and walls, offering insights into Carthage’s history, culture, and its influence in the ancient Mediterranean. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a symbol of historical resilience and cultural exchange.
