Colchester

Japanese: コルチェスター(英語表記)Colchester
Colchester
A city in Essex, southeast England. It was the first place where the ancient Romans established their base of rule in Great Britain, and is known as the oldest town in Britain, recorded by Pliny the Elder. A temple was built in ancient Roman times, but it was destroyed by the Briton Queen Boadicea in rebellion. In the 11th and 12th centuries, King William I built Colchester Castle on the site of the temple. In the old town, surrounded by castle walls, there is the town hall and water tower, the Natural History Museum, and the Hollytrees Museum, all built in the Victorian era.
