St Albans, originally Verulamium, was a Roman town founded in the 1st century AD and one of Britain’s oldest cities. It became a religious centre in the medieval period, particularly due to its cathedral, which has stood for over 900 years. The city has a long-standing role in English history, including connections to King John and later becoming a pilgrimage site. Today, it remains a vibrant suburban town with a strong cultural identity.
