Vincent Poon :: Carthage
 
Carthage was the centre of the Carthaginian civilization founded by the Phoenicians in 8th century BC. After 3 Punic Wars, Carthage was finally destroyed and occupied by the Romans. Nowadays it is not hard to find these Roman ruins around the place. In fact there were so many which we could only afford to see a selective few, and amongst them the Antonine Baths was definitely the best!

Route de la Goulette, an express way built on top of a Roman-era dam over the lake of Tunis, which connects Tunis to the harbour
We set off from Tunis Nord and it would take a while before we reached Carthage. You could see the place was so big that there were 5 train stations
Le Bac, a very small station on the way... it was simple but clean
The door of our moving train, do you know what's wrong with it?

Besides not properly shut, there were no glasses and this boy just taught us a lesson you could stick youself outside the window of a moving train
This is our TGM train, I must say it wasn't very modern nor comfortable
There are a few stations in Carthage, we got off at Carthage Hannibal. Oh the station
To get from one platform to another, you basically just cross the track... good luck mate!

This is how Carthage looked like 2000 years ago
We decided to walk all the way up to Byrsa Hill first. This is a local bus
This area is now populated by luxury mansions and embassies...
Built on the site of the Carthage acropolis, the Carthage National Museum contains the largest collection of objects from the site of Carthage and covers the Phoenician-Punic, the Roman-African and the Arab-Moslem periods.
