Understand
Chichester has been occupied since before Roman times, when it was believed to have been one of the bridgeheads of the Roman invasion of Britain. The city centre is built on the Roman town of Noviomagus, and it benefits from the cross-shaped design favoured by the Romans - North Street, South Street, East Street and West Street converge on the Chichester Cross, a medieval market cross.
Chichester is famous for the annual Chichester Festivities and the Chichester Real Ale and Jazz Festival (http://www.chichester-rajf.com).
