The Punic-Roman Sanctuary is a significant archaeological site where Carthaginian and Roman cultures intertwined between the 4th and 1st centuries BCE. Located along the coast, the complex preserves the remains of sacred structures and a large basalt altar, as well as ritual basins and votive chambers adorned with mosaics and fragments of black-glazed pottery. Originally dedicated to the Punic deities Tanit and Baal, the sanctuary was later repurposed by the Romans, who introduced new forms of worship and integrated classical architectural elements such as Tuscan columns and stucco friezes. The site bears witness to the dynamics of religious and commercial syncretism in the ancient Mediterranean, offering valuable insights into ritual practices, votive offerings, and the cultural connections between Punic and Roman communities.
