Exploring the Ruins of Carthage

🇹🇳 Tunis, Tunisia ❤️ Archaeological Site of Carthage Early October is the perfect time to visit Tunis, Tunisia. One must-visit destination during your trip to Tunis is the Archaeological Site of Carthage. This site was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Admission is free for Tunisian nationals, while foreign visitors can enter for a fee of 12 dinars (approximately 6,000 KRW). Tickets can be purchased at the entrance ticket office. Carthage was a city established around 800 BC, known for its maritime trade, economic power, and military strength. Its strategic location for maritime trade led to continuous wars with the Roman Empire over Mediterranean dominance. Unfortunately, the city was destroyed after three Punic Wars with Rome over 120 years, ending around 200 BC. It is truly fascinating to witness a city founded in 800 BC still standing in the 2000s, allowing visitors to imagine the lives of its ancient inhabitants. One of the highlights of the Carthage ruins is the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea and the city of Tunis. It's awe-inspiring to think that 3,000 years ago, the people of Carthage stood here, gazing out at the same blue Mediterranean.
