Uitca the mysterious land

 

 

Utica is one of the first Phoenician cities of north Africa . It was founded in the context of the trading activities carried out by the Phoenicians from Tyre who were outstanding sailors .

Utica was the first capital of Phoenician presence in north Africa and remained independent even after the foundation of Carthage in 814 BC. Only after 480 BC when Carthagians were defeated in Himera  did Carthage subdue Utica as part of its new policy .

Utica witnessed two important  periods :

-         ​Phoenician period

-         ​Roman period .

 

The Phoenician period : there are few traces of this period . Walls were built of stones and raw bricks , the floors  were paved . Punic type cisterns were narrow and long in shapes with rounded ends .

The Roman period : this period is famous with temples , Amphitheatre , great baths and circus .  

Our pictures and videos show all these antiquities .
