Fishbourne Roman Palace

Fishbourne Roman Palace, located in Fishbourne near Chichester, West Sussex, is the largest known Roman residence north of the Alps [1]. Built around 75 AD, approximately thirty years after the Roman conquest of Britain, it represents an unusually early example of Roman elite architecture in Britain [1]. The palace features a rectangular layout surrounded by formal gardens, with the northern portions reconstructed [1]. Archaeological excavations have revealed extensive alterations made over several centuries of occupation, and much of the site is now preserved with an on-site museum [1].
