Travel Guide to your Holiday to Carthage:
The city of Carthage is located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis across from the centre of Tunis in Tunisia. According to Greek historians, Carthage was founded by Canaanite-speaking Phoenician colonists from Tyre (in modern Lebanon) under the leadership of Queen Elissa or Dido.

Carthage, once sheltered the mightiest fleet in the Med. It was Hannibal's base for his elephant attack on Italy. Then came Roman payback. They burnt it to the ground in 146 BC and build their own city in its place. Today, it's the middle of a smart Tunis suburb, a short train trip on the Tunis-Marsa line. It is worth visiting the museum and the ruins of the Baths of Antonin, the second largest in the Roman world, and the Roman Theatre.
