About Exhibition Center Colchester Castle Park
Colchester Castle Park is more than just a green oasis in the city; it’s the historic heart of Colchester, with roots tracing back to Roman Britain. Colchester Castle itself is the largest surviving Norman fortress in Europe, built around 1076 on the ruins of a Roman temple. The park was opened to the public in the late 19th century, and its formal layout and landscaped style reflect the Victorian era.
