Carthage Walking Tour

Carthage, Tunisia

Why Walk Carthage

Carthage was founded by Phoenician traders around 814 BC and grew into an empire rivaling Rome, led by generals like Hannibal. Rome destroyed the city utterly in 146 BC, then rebuilt it as a major Roman city. Today the ruins are spread across a prosperous suburb of Tunis, with Punic burial grounds, Roman baths, and early Christian churches interspersed with modern villas. The scattered nature of the sites and the layers of Phoenician, Roman, Vandal, and Byzantine history make audio narration essential.
