Carthage: The Legendary Ancient City ✨

#ancienttown Carthage, located near modern-day Tunis in Tunisia, is one of the most famous ancient cities in history. Founded by the Phoenicians in the 9th century BC, Carthage grew into a powerful and wealthy city-state, becoming a dominant force in the Mediterranean. It is best known for its conflicts with the Roman Republic during the Punic Wars, particularly under the leadership of the Carthaginian general Hannibal. Today, the ruins of ancient Carthage are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tips for visiting: ▪️Start early: Carthage is spread over a large area with multiple historical sites to explore. Start early to avoid the midday heat and give yourself plenty of time to see everything. ▪️Get a Combo Ticket: Purchase a combined entry ticket that allows access to multiple key sites, including the Antonine Baths, Byrsa Hill, Punic Ports, and the Tophet of Carthage. ▪️Wear Comfortable Shoes: The ruins are extensive, and you’ll be doing a lot of walking. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, especially if you're exploring hilly areas like Byrsa Hill. 📍Where: Carthage, Tunisia 🇹🇳 #100waysoftravel #carthage #tunisia #ancientcity #romanruins #unesco #historicaltravel
