A Punic town on the Cap Bon shore and one of the most important cities of the Carthaginian world, alongside Carthage, Hadrumetum (Sousse) and Utica. It lived for almost four centuries and was probably abandoned during the First Punic War, around 250 BC, and the Romans never rebuilt it. For exactly that reason it is the only surviving example of a Phoenician-Punic town not buried under a later one, and UNESCO listed it with its necropolis as a World Heritage Site in 1985. Its ancient name is unknown; Kerkouane is a name archaeologists gave it. You walk among house foundations along straight streets. Many houses have bathtubs with pink mortar floors, some with the symbol of Tanit set into the ground, alongside purple-dye workshops and walls facing the sea. The small museum at the entrance shows finds from the excavations, including a rare wooden sarcophagus. The site sits right on the sea and pairs easily with Kelibia fort in one day.
With pink mortar floors.
Set into the floor.
And a rare wooden coffin.
Cap Bon, about 12 km north of Kelibia
It is the only surviving Punic town with no Roman city built over it, so its houses and streets show the Punic layout as it was.
