No, the photo is not from the Carthage Wikipedia page (or at least not a representative/main image of the
Carthage ruins). The image you shared matches Loryma (modern Bozukkale / "Broken Castle"), an ancient fortified harbor site on the Bozburun Peninsula in southwestern Turkey (near Marmaris, Muğla Province), not Carthage in Tunisia.

Quick comparison:Your photo Low stone foundation ruins, cobblestone/paved paths, scattered walls, lush Mediterranean vegetation (including oleanders), turquoise sea, and distant hazy mountains/peaks across the water. This is a classic viewpoint from the Loryma archaeological area overlooking the bay.

Carthage ruins (Tunisia) Primarily Roman-era remains (e.g., Antonine Baths with standing columns, amphitheater, villas, Punic ports/harbors). The landscape is North African coastal with different vegetation, more urban/modern surroundings nearby, and views over the Gulf of Tunis no close visual match to your image.
en.wikipedia.org
Wikipedia's Carthage article features images like reconstructions, the Antonine Baths, Punic ruins in Byrsa, etc. not this scene. It may be a mix-up (common with scenic Mediterranean ruin photos), or perhaps the image was once used elsewhere and misremembered.If you can share the exact filename or description from the Wikipedia page (or the direct image link), I can double-check! Otherwise, your photo is a beautiful shot of Loryma/Bozukkale in Turkey.
