The Phoenicians also established trading colonies across the Mediterranean: Tunis in Tunisia sits on top of the ancient Phoenician city of Carthage, and Cadiz in Spain is also an ancient Phoenician city.For a time, parts of Sicily and the Baelaeric Islands were part of Phoenician territory.ncient Phoenicia had its heartland in modern-day Lebanon and Syria.
