Chester city is the county town of Cheshire, a county in northwest England. It is located near
the border with Wales and became a city in 1541. With a population of 79,645 in 2011, Chester is
the second-largest settlement in Cheshire after
Warrington. Chester is one of the oldest cities in
British history, established as a base of the Roman
Empire in 79 BC under Emperor Vespasian.
Referring to Chester, people often think of a
city surrounded by ancient and solid walls. At the
age of more than 2000, this place seems to become
more special with the image of ancient high walls -
relics of history left from the war between England
