Phoenician or Punic town dating back to 1101 BCE and rival of Carthage, which was founded nealry 300 years later. Utica helped the romans against the carthaginians and then became a Roman town. There are some Roman remains that have survived quarrying and parts of a Punic necropolis. The river and port silted up in late antiquity, which led to the town being abandoned. Museum at site, while other artifacts in the Bardo Museum.
