Punic quarter of Carthage (5th–4th centuries BC). This reconstruction of the residential quarter by the sea was made from excavations of an area that is inhabited today. The area was urbanised between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC; we can see the sea wall reinforced with towers and a monumental gate. Behind the gate are the housing units, laid out in a regular pattern. They are modest houses in size, but equipped with amenities and comfort.
