Verulamium is the remains of a Roman town, situated under and around the south-western part of modern-day St Albans, Hertfordshire. It is believed to have been the third largest city and only municipium of Roman Britain. It was sacked by the Iceni in AD 61 and burnt on Boudica's orders. It was the location of the martyrdom of Saint Alban. A large portion of the Roman city remains unexcavated, being now park and agricultural land. Much has been excavated though and then covered up to form playing fields. Mosaic floors and other works of art are displayed in the Museum. The parts still visible are sections of the city wall and gateways, and a mosaic floor, with hypocaust below, covered by a modern building in the centre of the fields. The site is within the council area of St Albans (Hertfordshire).
