    Monte Sirai Phoenician-Punic Fortress

    Ascend to this strategic Phoenician-Punic acropolis overlooking the Sulcis plain. Founded in the 8th century BC and fortified by Carthage, Monte Sirai features preserved urban layout, sacred precincts, and a tophet. The panoramic views explain why Phoenicians chose this hilltop for their inland fortress.
