تشيتشستر (Chichester ؛ /ˈɪstər/) is a cathedral city in West Sussex, in South-East England.[4] It is the only city in West Sussex and is its county town. It has a long history as a settlement from Roman times and was important in Anglo-Saxon times. It is the seat of the Church of England Diocese of Chichester, with a 12th-century cathedral.

The city is a hub of several main road routes, and has a railway station, theatre, hospital and museums. The River Lavant runs through, and partly beneath, the city.

التاريخ

الفترة الرومانية

مقال رئيسي: Noviomagus Reginorum

المنطقة المحيطة بتشيتشستر يُعتقد أنها لعبت دوراً هاماً أثناء الغزو الروماني في 43م، as confirmed by evidence of military storage structures in the area of the nearby Fishbourne Roman Palace.[5] The city centre stands on the foundations of the Romano-British city of Noviomagus Reginorum, capital of the Civitas Reginorum. The Roman road of Stane Street, connecting the city with London, started at the east gate, while the Chichester to Silchester road started from the north gate. The plan of the city is inherited from the Romans: the North, South, East and West shopping streets radiate from the central market cross dating from medieval times.
