Read moreLocated on the seafront, slightly south of the famous Antonine Baths, the Magon district was the last one that had escaped urbanization. The excavations that were carried out there allowed the discovery of the only visible part of the ramparts of Carthage, dating from the end of the 6th or the beginning of the5th century B.C., with its foundation blocks, one of which weighs more than 13 tons! The excavators were able to determine that there was then an organized urbanism, with streets three meters wide and a way nine meters wide!
