Hadrian's Wall, also known as the Roman Wall, is a former defensive fortification of the Roman province of Britannia.
Built by the Romans in AD 122 during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, it was the northernmost boundary of the Roman Empire.
The wall has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and is an important symbol of British history.
