Please share with your friends.

Chichester is a historic cathedral city in West Sussex, England, known for its rich Roman and Anglo-Saxon history, impressive architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. As the county town, it is the only city in West Sussex and was named the "best place to live in the Southeast" by The Times in 2023.
History
Chichester's history dates back to Roman times. A fort was built there in 43 AD, and it was later developed into a town called Noviomagus, meaning "new marketplace." The city's grid-like street plan, with main streets forming a cross at the center, is a legacy of this Roman layout and is still visible today. After the Romans left, the area was settled by the South Saxons, giving rise to the name "Sussex." The name "Chichester" itself is believed to come from the Saxon leader Cissa.
