Punic Ports of Carthage. Cosa vedere e come visitare

Near the TGM station of Carthage Byrsa, you can easily distinguish the shapes of the two ancient ports, legendary symbols of Carthage's power and prosperity. The commercial port, oblong in shape, is connected to the circular military port by a narrow channel. This layout made the naval base extremely secure as only the commercial part had access to the sea 🌊. The facility was designed so that the military port was invisible from the outside, but the Carthaginian fleet could see the sea. With moorings for an incredible 220 ships and a 7-hectare commercial port bordered by quays and warehouses, this archaeological site holds rich historical significance. Don't miss the knowledgeable guides who enhance the experience. Explore the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere that now envelop a site where history once thrived.
