Carthage is an ancient city located on the north coast of Africa, now a residential suburb of the city of Tunis, Tunisia.

The city was destroyed by the Romans in 146 B.C. and later rebuilt as Roman Carthage. Today, the archaeological site of Carthage is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features several ruins, including the ancient citadel, the Byrsa, and the Roman amphitheater.
