Carthage
Culture lovers will revel in the picturesque city of Carthage in the north of the country, home to the presidential palace and residences of several ambassadors. As a World Heritage site rated by UNESCO, Carthage is the cradle of the Punic (Carthaginian) civilization that was founded by the Phoenicians who were military and economic elites before they were overthrown by the Romans.
Some of the more worthy sites include the baths of Antoninus and Mount Byrsa, where the historic ruins of an ancient Punic city lie in the shadows of the St. Louis Cathedral.
