Carthage — Punic Harbor (3rd century BC)

Step into Carthage during the Punic era and discover its famous harbor complex at the height of its maritime power.

From a merchant ship, observe the quays, merchants and sailors preparing their vessels, while Carthaginian warships emerge from the protected military port.

The Punic harbor complex of Carthage, often referred to as the Cothon, combined a commercial basin with a separate naval harbor, forming one of the most remarkable maritime complexes of the ancient Mediterranean.

Archaeological evidence places major phases of the port installations in the 3rd century BC.
