The Acropolium of Chartage in Tunis,…



The Acropolium of Chartage in Tunis, a former Roman Catholic cathedral. Located near the ruins of the ancient Punic and Roman city. It was built atop the ruins of an old temple dedicated to Eshmun, the Punic god of healing. The edifice can still be accessed from the basement.
Built by the French in 1884, it
isn't longer used for worship, but instead hosts public events or
concerts of Tunisian music and classical music.
