Basilica of Damus

The Basilica of Damus Carthage is one of the largest religious complexes in the history of the Roman Empire and Christianity. It stands as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in Tunisia, dating back to the era of the Roman Empire in Africa and the Christian history worldwide.

The Basilica of Damus Carthage comprises two churches and several attached buildings. The main church is the largest church in Carthage, designed between the years 45 and 65 CE. What remains today are its divisions and the columns, totaling around 90 columns, with two large wings converging in the center at the landmark. Numerous inscriptions, writings, and wall paintings have been uncovered.

Adjacent to the church, there are several underground chambers and other buildings dating from different periods. One of the most notable structures is the underground building containing a circular hall and numerous columns. It is believed to have been a specialized structure for religious events.
