Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian's Wall was a defensive fortification built by the Romans around AD 122 during Emperor Hadrian's reign. Stretching about 73 miles across northern England, it marked the northern boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain. The wall featured towers, forts, and gates, serving both military and administrative purposes. It aimed to control trade, manage immigration, and defend against tribes from the north. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizing Roman engineering and influence, and attracts visitors interested in history, archaeology, and the ancient world.
