Summary

Carthage, a city of antiquity renowned for its resilience and strategic significance, has been the subject of extensive archaeological research that traces its three-thousand-year history. From its founding to destruction, refounding, and eventual ruin, Carthage's layered past is now being reconstructed through systematic excavations and studies. The city, which once served as a colonial archdiocese and currently hosts Tunisia’s presidential residence, stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizing both its historical grandeur and modern relevance. This research sheds light on the complex narrative of urban evolution, settlement patterns, and cultural transformations that have shaped Carthage's enduring legacy.
