Why pilgrims come
Walk through the Christian history preserved in these stones
The ancient Christian city in which Augustine studied and taught. Its scattered basilica remains and archaeological zones evoke the North African Church that shaped his intellectual and pastoral world.
Read Carthage as one of early Latin Christianity’s great intellectual and martyr cities. Its Christian inheritance is dispersed across a protected archaeological landscape rather than concentrated in one intact church.
