3. Cathédrale de Saint Louis

   Perched on the historic Byrsa Hill, the Acropolium—also known as Saint Louis Cathedral—is one of Carthage’s most emblematic landmarks. Built in the 19th century on the remains of an ancient temple dedicated to Eshmun, the Punic god of healing, the site reflects the rich layers of history that shaped Carthage: Punic, Roman, and later Christian. The cathedral was dedicated to King Louis IX of France, who died during the Eighth Crusade near Tunis, and its presence symbolizes the intersection of cultures and faiths that have left their mark on the city. While the interior is currently closed to visitors, the monument remains a must-see from the outside, offering impressive architecture and sweeping views over Carthage and the Mediterranean.
