Carthage

Carthage is an ancient historical town in Tunisia, Africa.
Carthage is mainly known as the major counter-part of Rome in the competition for dominance over the Mediterranean sea. Carthage was found in 814 BC by the Phoenicians, and after a long competition with Rome, both in trade and in warfare, it was eventually destroyed in 146 BC. After this the city was rebuild like a Roman town, which flourished by the era of Mohamed, when it was again flattered by the Arabs in 692 AD.
Nowadays Carthage is remarkable for several scattered more interesting archaeological sites and for the wonderful Carthage National Museum, housing many artifacts of the vast history of the place. The other sites include the man-made Punic port, the restored Theatre of Adrian, the Antonine Baths and the controversial Tophet, a site with evidence of child sacrifices by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC.
Carthage also is worth visiting for the unforgeable sundown views to the city and the bay of Tunis.
