Roman baths, Leicester

The Jewry Wall is the only standing structure of Roman date in the city, and one of the finest in the country. It was probably constructed as the western wall of a palaestra (exercise hall) c.125-130 AD. The area in front of it is the remains of the Roman baths, built c.135-140 AD. It is a Scheduled Monument.
