    Punic Ports of Carthage

    The legendary twin harbors that made Carthage master of the Mediterranean. The rectangular commercial port and circular military port (visible from Byrsa Hill) could shelter 220 warships. A central island housed the admiralty and shipyards. These ports enabled Carthaginian wine trade across the entire Mediterranean world. A small on-site museum explains the ingenious harbor engineering.
