Welcome to Old Carlisle

Old Carlisle is a historic city located in the county of Cumbria, England. The city has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era, and it has been an important center of trade and commerce for centuries. Old Carlisle is home to many historic buildings and landmarks, including the Carlisle Castle, which was built in the 11th century and served as a military stronghold for centuries.

One of the most notable features of Old Carlisle is its Roman heritage. The city was founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD, and it was an important military and administrative center for the Roman Empire. The remains of the Roman wall that once surrounded the city can still be seen today, and the city's Roman heritage is celebrated every year with the Carlisle Roman Festival.

Old Carlisle is also known for its historic architecture. The city has many beautiful buildings that date back to the medieval period, including the Carlisle Cathedral, which was built in the 12th century and is one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture in England. Other notable buildings in Old Carlisle include the Guildhall, the Old Town Hall, and the Tullie House Museum, which is home to a collection of artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of the city's rich history.
