Verulamium, Roman archaeological site in St Albans, England

The remains of Verulamium include preserved walls, a theatre, forum foundations, and residential buildings spread across an extensive area near the River Ver.

The city functioned as a major administrative center from 50 AD until its abandonment in the fifth century following multiple reconstructions after fires and attacks.

The archaeological museum displays Roman artifacts, including mosaics, pottery, coins, and tools that demonstrate the daily activities of citizens in Roman Britain.

Visitors access the site through marked pathways in Verulamium Park, with informational panels explaining the significance of different structural remains.

The excavated Roman theatre, constructed in 140 AD with seating for 2000 people, stands as the only example of its type visible in Britain.
