Old Sarum

Old Sarum is the original site of Salisbury, England, established around the Iron Age. It served as a strategic fortress and later a Norman castle, important for defense and administration. Over time, it lost prominence due to changes in trade routes and transport, and the city was relocated to the nearby plain in the 13th century. Today, Old Sarum is an archaeological site featuring the remains of medieval walls, a cathedral, and historical structures, providing insight into medieval life and Norman architecture. It is now a popular historical attraction offering panoramic views and a glimpse into England’s early history.
