Where is Carthage?
Carthage, ancient city, North Africa.
The state, Carthage, took its name from the city of Carthage, lying on the coast, 10 km from today's Tunis, Tunisia.
Carthage had been founded in the 9th century by Phoenician traders of Tyre.
Today’s Carthage
There are hardly any remains of the ancient Carthage, although a few Punic cemeteries, shrines, and fortifications have been discovered. Most of the ruins that remain are from the Roman period, including baths, an amphitheater, aqueducts, and other buildings. Louis IX of France (St. Louis) died there while on crusade. A chapel in his honor stands on the hill that is traditionally identified as Byrsa Hill, site of the ancient citadel. The Lavigérie Museum is also there.
