This 19th century photograph showcases the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of The Cisterns of Borj Jedid in Carthage, Tunisia. Located near the coast, these ancient Roman cisterns are among the most prominent features of the archaeological site, providing essential water to the Antonine Bath Complex during Roman times. The cisterns, built primarily of brick and stone, are remarkably well-preserved, showcasing the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the ancient civilization. The scene is set against a picturesque backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, with the horizon line blurred by the gentle clouds above. The cisterns, with their stepped structure and intricate brickwork, stand proudly against the sandy shoreline, creating a striking contrast between the old and the new. The fence and road in the foreground add an element of intrigue, while the rocky terrain and rugged coastline suggest a rich and varied history. This vintage image invites us to explore the cultural heritage of Carthage and Tunisia, transporting us back in time to an era of ancient architecture and outdoor living. The Cisterns of Borj Jedid remain a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the Mediterranean coast.
