Carthage Museum, and the Acropolium (St. Louis Cathedral)
About
Carthage Museum, and the Acropolium (St. Louis Cathedral). Most remnants excavated from the ruins have been stored in the cavernous museum located on Byrsa Hill, documenting both the Punic and the Roman eras. 8:30AM-5:30PM (until 7PM in the summer), entry TD 4.2 or with the multi-site ticket. Note that as of December 2010 part of the museum is closed for the remaking of some exhibits. The museum grounds offer sweeping views of the coast and city, and also include the ruins of some Punic streets, the former site of a public library, numerous sculptures, a chapel or church, some excellent mosaics and some coffins. Unfortunately many items about the grounds are unlabelled, so a guide may be useful (or eavesdrop on a tour group if you can). Ignore the shifty guy trying to charge you 1 DT to use the toilet. St Louis Cathedral forms one edge of the museum, but does not appear to be open - it was completed in 1890.
