The Paleo-Christian Museum is a small but specialised museum focused on Carthage's early Christian period — roughly the third through the seventh century, when Carthage was one of the most important Christian cities in the Roman world. The collection includes mosaic floors, marble inscriptions, sarcophagi, and baptismal fonts, drawn mostly from the dozens of churches and chapels excavated across the ancient city.
The most striking pieces are the elaborate floor mosaics, transferred here from sites that could no longer be displayed in situ. The museum is small (an hour is usually enough), unrushed, and provides essential context for understanding the basilicas at Damous El Karita and Saint-Cyprien. The setting is also pleasant — landscaped grounds with a few standing fragments of architecture in the open air.
