Jewry Wall, Roman wall remains in Leicester, England
The Jewry Wall stands 9 meters tall and stretches 23 meters in length, featuring two large archways constructed with alternating layers of brick and stone.
Built around 160 AD, this structure formed the western wall of Roman public baths in Ratae Corieltauvorum, the Roman settlement that preceded modern Leicester.
Archaeological excavations between 1936 and 1939 revealed evidence of Roman bathing practices and architectural techniques through discovered mosaics and painted plaster.
The wall can be viewed from St Nicholas Walk, while the adjacent museum housing Roman artifacts remains temporarily closed for extensive renovations.
This Grade I listed building represents one of the most substantial remaining sections of Roman masonry in Britain, incorporating local granite, limestone, and sandstone.
