The Acropolium of Carthage, originally built as Saint Louis Cathedral in the 19th century, stands atop Byrsa Hill. This historic church, now deconsecrated, features a striking blend of Byzantine, Gothic, and Moorish architectural elements. Visitors can explore its ornate interior and climb to the top for sweeping views of the Gulf of Tunis and the ancient Carthage ruins. The site also hosts cultural events and exhibitions.
