Lancaster

Lancaster is a city located on the river Lune in the County of Lancashire. It is noted for its medieval castle.

Lancaster castle is built on the Site of a Roman Fort, thought to have been Calunium, constructed between 60-73 CE, which was probably built to defend a harbour on the river Lune.
The Roman fort appears to have been rebuilt several times.
