Castrum Segedunum, Roman fort at Wallsend, England.
The fortress covers 17,000 square meters with stone walls, barracks, headquarters building, commander's house, granaries, hospital, and four entrance gates.
Built in 122 AD as the eastern terminus of Hadrian's Wall, Segedunum housed 600 soldiers from the Second Nervians and Fourth Lingones cohorts until 400 AD.
The excavated foundations reveal the military settlement's layout, including soldier quarters, administrative buildings, and a sophisticated heating system in the bathhouse.
A 35-meter observation tower provides views of the entire archaeological site, while the museum displays Roman artifacts found during excavations since 1929.
The garrison's bathhouse has been reconstructed according to historical specifications, featuring cold and hot rooms with replicated wall paintings from the original structure.
