Roman Elliptical Building

Buried deep underneath the newly-refurbished town hall (of which more later), is a mysterious Roman elliptically-shaped building. This building was unique in the Roman world, and together with the amphitheatre and the very large Principia building, suggest that the fortress was intended to be of high status and importance. It has even been suggested that Chester was at one time destined to be the capital of a Roman province which included Ireland - a dream which did not turn into reality.
