Tower of London

The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built in 1078. It is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat.

The castle was used as a prison 1100 - 1952 and the Tower has served the home of the Crown Jewels of England, variously as an armoury...

In 1988, it was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. It has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times, and controlling it has been important to controlling the country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England ( read more )
