About us
The Phoenicians’ Route – Cultural Route of the Council of Europe
The Phoenicians’ Route refers to the connection of the major nautical routes which, since the twelfth century BC, were used by the Phoenicians as essential routes for trade and cultural communication in the Mediterranean. Through these routes, the Phoenicians – genial sailors and merchants – gave origin to a great civilization, for some verses still little known, that asserted itself through an expansion towards the West, producing an intense exchange of manufactured articles, people and ideas and
contributing in ancient times to the creation of a koine, a Mediterranean cultural community and to the circulation of this culture.
