Old Sarum is an ancient hill fort located near the city of Salisbury in England. It is believed to have been inhabited since the Neolithic period, around 3000 BC, and was later used as a hill fort by the Iron Age Britons. The site was also used by the Romans, who built a temple there, and by the Saxons, who established a royal palace.
In the 11th century, Old Sarum became the site of a Norman castle and a cathedral. The castle was built by William the Conqueror and was used as a royal residence until the 13th century. The cathedral was built in the 12th century and was the seat of the Bishop of Salisbury until it was moved to the current location in the 13th century.
Old Sarum was an important center of power in medieval England and was the site of many important events, including the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215. However, by the 14th century, the site had become too small and cramped for the growing population, and the city of Salisbury was established nearby.
Today, Old Sarum is a popular tourist attraction and is managed by English Heritage. Visitors can explore the ruins of the castle and cathedral, as well as the remains of the Iron Age hill fort. The site offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is a fascinating glimpse into the history of England.
