The tophet of Salammbô, also called tophet of Carthage, is the oldest Punic place in Carthage. In this sanctuary were buried, for seven centuries, small urns containing the ashes of the first-born of the noble families of the city, immolated in sacrifice. With this act, the Carthaginians hoped to see their wishes fulfilled or thanked the divinities for those already realized. Fans of the comic books on the adventures of Alix relive here The Spectre of Carthage. We regret the lack of information and the lack of maintenance of this site.

Cimetière pour enfants dont on ne sait à l'heure actuelle toujours pas, contrairement à ce que dit le guide, s'ils étaient sacrifiés ou non aux divinités de l'époque. Les spécialistes s'opposent sur la question. Toujours est-il que le site est superbe, relativement bien entretenu sauf dans sa partie basse rapidement inondée. Dommage, la pièce maîtresse s'y trouve !
