Carthage - Damous el Karita

Outside the ancient town of Carthage, on the west side of the main road to Sidi Bou Said (TGM station Carthage-Présidence), are the remains of the basilica of Damous el Karita (from domus caritatis), the largest Early Christian church in Tunisia. Of this great nine-aisled building nothing is left but a forest of broken columns and pillars. Adjoining is the cemetery of the Pères Blancs.

To the east of the main road are the basilica of St Cyprian and the convent of St Monica (Augustine's mother), with a church (originally seven-aisled). Farther north is the Basilica Majorum, of which only the outlines can be distinguished. In a chapel in this church SS. Perpetua, Felicitas and their companions were buried.
