Tower of
London
In 1078, William the
Conqueror built the first part of the Tower, the White Tower, as a fortress.
Over the centuries, other kings and queens extended the Tower and used it as a
palace or prison. Prisoners usually arrived by boat and entered the Tower through
Traitor's Gate, which faces the river.
The Tower of London, seen from the
river, with a view of the water gate called “Traitors Gate”.
Worth seeing in the
Tower are old armours and weapons, the crown jewels and the famous ravens.
People say that as long as there are six ravens at the Tower, England is safe
from invasion.

Near the Tower, there
are the ruins of an old Roman city wall. The Romans invaded England in the year
43. They also founded the city of London, which they called Londinium.
