Chester

Yesterday we went to Chester. We had a few spare hours and we walked in the city center, a delight as always.

We’ve tried to have a meal outside, but hubby thought it was too cold and we moved inside. The food was great, nachos and burrito, it’s something I’ll make at home when I have more time.

These are the remaining walls of the tower from a Roman fortress.

The Roman amphitheater, discovered in the 30s, by chance.

There were plans to build a road across the monument. But after a national campaign to save the amphitheater, the Ministry of Transport vetoed the scheme. As usual, I’m happy to see people so involved in their culture and history and, at the same, doing what they can to preserve it.
