Hadrian's Wall, Roman defensive wall museum in Northumberland, England
The stone fortification stretches 117 kilometers across northern England, featuring ancient military forts, gates, and observation towers along its length.
Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of this defensive barrier between 122 and 127 CE to mark the northernmost boundary of Roman Britain.
The structure represents the largest Roman archaeological feature in Britain, displaying military architectural techniques and daily life from the second century.
Four main visitor centers at Wallsend, Chesters, Housesteads, and Birdoswald offer extensive exhibits, guided tours, and archaeological remains interpretation.
The wall contains the remains of 300 towers and 80 defensive fortlets, making it the most complex Roman frontier defense system in Europe.
