On the top of Bursa Hill stands the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Saint Louis. Also on the hill is the National Museum of Carthage, housing artifacts from the ancient city. From Bursa Hill, one can see ruins in the foreground and the modern city in the background. A map of Carthage shows the relative location of the sights I saw in Carthage, in particular the Antonine Baths (No. 2), the Amphitheater (No. 7), and Bursa Hill with the Cathedral, Museum, and Punic Quarter (No. 9). Also on the hill is the National Museum of Carthage, housing artifacts from the ancient city and a model of the Punic Quarter of Bursa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Saint-Louis-Cathedral.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14672\" title=\"Saint Louis Cathedral\" src=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Saint-Louis-Cathedral.jpg\" alt=\"Saint Louis Cathedral\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Saint-Louis-Cathedral.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Saint-Louis-Cathedral-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephendanko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Saint-Louis-Cathedral-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Saint Louis Cathedral<\/em><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:\u00a0 Saint Louis Cathedral (Carthage, Tunis Governorate, Tunisia); photographed by Stephen J.
