Fishbourne is a village in West Sussex, England, best known for being the site of Fishbourne Roman Palace, the largest Roman residential building discovered in Britain. This ancient settlement dates back to the Roman conquest of Britain, with the palace being built in the 1st century AD. The village, situated near Chichester Harbour, combines its rich archaeological heritage with a quiet residential character.

The discovery of the Roman Palace in 1960 during construction work led to significant archaeological excavations that revealed elaborate mosaics, gardens, and living quarters, providing invaluable insights into Roman Britain's history and culture. Today, Fishbourne maintains its historical significance while serving as a peaceful suburban community.
