Review & FAQ:
Before Rochester Castle was built, it was the site of an old Roman fort, where it stood in defense of an important bridge along the London Road.
The original architects of the castle built upon the remains of the Roman walls as a foundation for Rochester Castle’s own structure.
In the year 1215, part of the castle was destroyed in a siege, and although it was rebuilt, the more modern round tower stands out in stark contrast against the older, square Norman towers of the castle. Guided tours of the castle and its grounds are available, as is an audio guide in several different languages.
