Kerkouane, located on the northeastern coast of Tunisia, is an ancient Punic city that dates back to the 6th century BCE. It is renowned for its well-preserved ruins which offer a unique glimpse into Carthaginian civilization. Unlike other ancient sites that were heavily reconstructed, Kerkouane was abandoned during the First Punic War and never rebuilt, allowing its original layout and architecture to remain largely intact. The site features residential quarters, streets, and sophisticated drainage systems, reflecting the advanced urban planning of its time.
