==Buildings== Only a few fragments of the 4th-century walls remain; for example, the original Roman wall is visible on the southern boundary of the parish church of St Peter and St Paul.<ref name=ps1/> The area occupied by the [[fortress]] is now classified as a [[scheduled monument]].<ref name=ps1/> The [[St Peter and St Paul Church, Caistor|church of St Peter and St Paul]], which is enclosed within the fortress, has an [[Anglo-Saxon architecture|Anglo-Saxon tower]].<ref>{{cite PastScape|mnumber=80342|mname=St Peter and St Pauls Church|access-date=25 March 2015}}</ref> The [[market square]] lies at the heart of a [[conservation area]] which contains 56, mainly Grade II, [[listed building]]s. In numerical terms, the number of listed buildings makes Caistor the most important conservation area in the West Lindsey area; many of the buildings are [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] or [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]].
