Caerleon Campus

Caerleon was the site of one of Britain's three Roman Legionary Fortresses and many believe it to be the location of King Arthur's Camelot.

In 830 AD Nennius listed Cair Lion as one of Britain's 33 cities. Nowadays it's a thriving town where past and present combine to delight both visitors and residents.

Caerleon has the finest remains of Roman barrack buildings in Europe. This block housed a century - 80 men. The larger rooms in the foreground were for the centurion. Legionaries shared quarters - eight men to a room.

The famous amphitheatre stands just outside the town’s walled area.It once housed a whole Roman legion - up to six thousand spectators. Nowadays it is sometimes used for open air events and re-enactments.
