With a history stretching back nearly three millennia, Carthage was once the heart of a powerful Mediterranean empire before being leveled by the Romans in the Third Punic War in 146 BC. It sprang from the ashes to become an important early Christian center before again being destroyed by Islamic invaders in the late 7th century. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Carthage is a short train ride from Tunis and has several interesting attractions, like the Punic port and the Carthage Museum.

Truly impressive Roman baths, which can give a glimpse on the size and power of the Roman empire. Not to mention that the hot water was transported there through 139 km of pipes and viaducts from the city of Zaghouan. The site is very big and worth spending some time and the views are fabulous.

This site is part of the ticket for 5 sites. I wanted to visit the museum but it was closed for renovation. This is one of the 3 sites I visited with the ticket and it was the best of the 3! Mosaics in the villas and in the tunnel were very very beautiful! Really a wonderful place to spend a lovely afternoon. If you get the ticket, do not miss this place!

When you see from far away, you can only see the long stone aqueduct. But when you go tobb bnb the other side, you must be surprised that the water pipe are so big. They kept water for the usage of Carthage and provide water for thermo bath of Antonine. Now, it’s world heritage site. Be aware the weather, when I go today, very windy.
