Camulodunum, Archaeological site in Colchester, United Kingdom
The remains of Camulodunum include Roman walls, theater foundations, and multiple excavated structures spread across modern-day Colchester, revealing ancient urban planning.
Established in 43 AD as the first Roman capital of Britain, Camulodunum served as a significant military fortress before its destruction during the Boudican revolt.
The Temple of Claudius, built around 44 AD, represented the first monumental Roman religious structure in Britain and demonstrated Roman imperial authority.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remains through guided tours, informative panels, and digital reconstructions available at multiple locations across Colchester.
Archaeological excavations revealed Britain's only known Roman circus, a massive structure that measured 450 meters in length and hosted chariot races.
