CARTHAGE PUNIC, ROMAN, AND UNIQUELY TUNISIAN

Carthage - is over three thousand years old and forms part of the heritage of the human race. The cultural and economic influence of Carthage on the ancient world has been handed down through the centuries, giving modern-day Tunisia its special values of tolerance, open-mindedness, and a readiness to adapt. Sidi Bou Said, Carthage's Archaeological Park, is an example of Tunisian

President, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's willingness to acknowledge the importance of the site. From the traces of Carthaginian culture at the Antonine hot springs, to the Roman villas at the amphitheatre and the archaeological museum, the park extends from the hillside to the coastline, providing visitors with the opportunity to stroll through lush surroundings, and the spirit can absorb the perfumed scents of the ages.
