Caistor Roman Town, also known as Venta Icenorum, is the largest Roman town in East Anglia, established around AD 70. The site features remarkable archaeological remains, including an amphitheater, a temple, and a forum, providing a unique glimpse into Roman urban life.

Notably, Caistor Roman Town is one of only three Roman towns in the UK that have not been built over in later centuries, allowing for extensive exploration of its below-ground archaeology. The site also offers an interactive augmented reality app that enhances the visitor experience by reconstructing the town's historical landscape.
