About Punic Town of Kerkuane
Kerkuane is unique: a Phoenician-Carthaginian town abandoned during the Punic Wars and never rebuilt over, so its street plan, houses and even bathrooms survive as the Carthaginians left them. Set on a beautiful stretch of Tunisian coast, its pink-plaster baths and mosaics offer an unmatched glimpse into a civilisation that Rome otherwise erased.
Highlights
- The remarkably preserved Punic houses
- Pink hip-baths and early bathrooms
- The Sign of Tanit mosaic
- The coastal archaeological setting
- The site museum
- The Cap Bon peninsula scenery
