VR Kerkouane archaeological site

The site is located at the end of Cap Bon, between El Haouaria and Kélibia, by the sea. It was only discovered in 1952 by two French archaeologists. Moreover, these ruins do not belong to any city known in literature: Kerkouane is therefore not the original name of the city.
Coastal city, Kerkouane was endowed with a port of which some sections still remain; it was to engage in trade with other Mediterranean ports to which it exported agricultural products but also handicrafts, like fabrics dyed purple, manufacturing facilities for this substance having been discovered near the coast, same as the shops of a commercial district. A museum gathering some objects discovered on the site, was erected at the entrance.
