Necropolis of Kerkouane, Kerkouane

The Necropolis of Kerkouane is an ancient cemetery located approximately 1.5 km northwest of the Punic city of Kerkouane in northeastern Tunisia. The necropolis consists of a series of vaults set in a seaside hill, four primary chamber-tombs, and a surrounding burial area. In 1985, UNESCO declared Kerkouane and its necropolis a World Heritage Site, because "he remains constitute the only example of a Phoenicio-Punic city to have survived." ()
