Chichester was founded by the Romans soon after they invaded Britain in AD43.
Since that time, it has been a vibrant city and is now the county town of West Sussex.
The Norman cathedral has towered over the city for 900 years.
The city has many historic buildings,
including a 13th Century priory and the Georgian Pallant House.
Built in 1713 by a local wine merchant, Pallant House
houses now one of the South's leading art galleries,
displaying Old Masters from Cezanne to Sutherland.
The attraction of Chichester is Fishbourne Roman Palace dating back to AD43,
and discovered in 1960. Here can be seen the large collection of mosaics
including the famous Cupid on a Dolphin mosaic.
Any visit to Chichester would be incomplete without a trip to Bosham.
This idyllic village by the harbour is a haven for yachtsmen and seabirds.
