Old Portsmouth is a district of the city of Portsmouth. It is the area covered by the original medieval town of Portsmouth as planned by Jean de Gisors. It is situated in the south west corner of Portsea Island. The roads still largely follow their original layout. The district was historically referred to as Portsmouth itself but with the growth of nearby settlements, the Municipal Corporation Act of 1835 formed the settlements under an enlarged Portsmouth and the district became referred to as Old Portsmouth.
The area contains many historic buildings including: Portsmouth Cathedral, Royal Garrison Church, The John Pounds Memorial Church, the Square Tower and Round Tower and Point Barracks, Portsmouth Point and the entrance to the harbour. George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham was assassinated in the Greyhound Pub in 1628. The area also has several historic pubs including the Bridge Tavern, Still and West, Spice Island Inn, and the Dolphin. The building Spice Island Inn occupies was previously two separate pubs.
