Punic Town of Kerkuane and its Necropolis

UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed 1985, located in Tunisia. This Phoenician city was probably abandoned during the First Punic War (c. 250 B.C.) and as a result was not rebuilt by the Romans. The remains constitute the only example of a Phoenicio-Punic city to have survived. The houses were built to a standard plan in accordance with a sophisticated notion of town planning.
