A Place for History Buffs

Known throughout history as the the city that Julius Ceasar built, Carthage is a World Heritage site that can't be missed when visiting Tunisia.

Some of the remains are easy to distinguish like the Corinthian columns, sculptures, the mosaics and parts of the thermal Antonine Baths, which were once the largest baths built by the Romans. Others areas in rubble are left to your imagination.

I roamed through a maze of extensive lower halls constructed between 145-165 CE and marveled at what used to be a main pool as big as an Olympic pool. There are illustrations to represent what it used to look like. The wealth poured into public places like Carthage was overwhelming.
