The wall is not completed but you can still see the three gates. Many tourists come to Carston to see the Roman ruins. Carston is famous for its history, but it is also a modern town with 74,000 people. They work in many types of jobs. The most common occupation is tourism, but there are also many people who work in the local car factory. The factory makes sports cars that are exported all over the world. There is another factory in Carston and in this factory, four hundred people work and they make microwave ovens.
Carston also has a small football team which is not very successful and a rugby team that is more successful.
