Chester city walls
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chester city walls are big intact defensive walls around a important English city of Chester. The city has been defended with walls since the foundation of the Deva Victrix fort on the site in 79.
[edit] History
The first walls were built to help the Roman fort in 79, although these were replaced by stronger stone walls between the 1st and 3rd century. The walls enclosed a far smaller area than the modern walls, with the south-western corner much further from the River Dee.
