Punic Carthage

The main remains of Punic Carthage are on the Byrsa Hill and in the Carthage-Salammbo district, between the main road (La Goulette-Sidi Bou Said) and the sea. The most important features are the National Museum and Quartier Punique (excavations of a Punic residential quarter), the Tophet (sacred precinct), the Punic Harbor (Kothon) and the Quartier Magon. If time permits, the tour of the site should begin with a visit to the National Museum and the Quartier Punique, both on the Byrsa Hill, and continue with the Tophet, the Kothon and the Quartier Magon.
