1 review of Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum

Fuerte Romano de Arbeia

Excellent

The fort of Arbeia was one of the largest Roman fortifications in northern England, located in the town of South Shields (Tyne and Wear region), close to the sea and to the river Tyne. Construction on it finished in 160 AD. It was a major supply point, and its other points inhabited Hadrian's Wall because it was based on the Wall's strong East side. It was abandoned in the V century, when the Romans left Britain and is the mid-nineteenth century are the rest of these ruins, sparking a major restoration process, which considering the good condition of the remains led to a process of reconstruction of the main facade of the fort and one of the houses that this was home.

The whole process lasted almost 100 years ending in the 70s. You can visit it for free, though it is not open year-round. When you go, you can visit the museum which features many important items like jewelry, coins, tools, and guns. It is very likely one of the most important period reconstructions of the Roman period in northern Europe and a clear example of the presence not only of what it probably looked like then, but also what it looks like and represents now.
