White Tower, Tower of
London
Foundation and early history
The Tower of London was built
at the beginning of the
eleventh century by William
the conqueror. The tower was
expanded during the thirteenth
century into the fortified
complex that we know today.
The Tower's most popular
attraction is its famous
collection of Crown Jewels.
А prominent role in English history
The Tower of London 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.
Byward Tower, Tower of London
The main entrance of the
Tower of London is at the
Byward Tower, where you'll
find the so-called Beefeaters or
Yeoman Warders.
The Bloody Tower
The peak period of the castle's
use as a prison was the 16th
and 17th centuries, when
many figures who had fallen
into disgrace, such
as Elizabeth I before she
became queen, Sir Walter
Raleigh, and Elizabeth
Throckmorton were held within
its walls. This use has led to
the phrase "sent to the Tower”

Tower of London is at the
Byward Tower, where you'll
find the so-called Beefeaters or
Yeoman Warders.

Тhe ravens
Legend has it that the Tower
and the kingdom will fall if the
ravens leave. Hence King
Charles II placed the birds
under royal protection and the
wings of the ravens are clipped
to prevent them from flying
away.
Ravens have been living here for centuries
One of the about forty Warders
is known as the Ravenmaster,
responsible for the ravens that
have been living here
for centuries.
Crown Jewels
The most famous tourist
attraction in the Tower of
London is the collection of
Crown Jewels that has been on
display here since the
seventeenth century, during
the reign of Charles II. Most of
the jewels were created around
the year 1660, when the
monarchy was reinstalled.
The jewels can be found in the
Jewel House, which is part of
the Waterloo Barracks just
north of the White Tower.
Traitors' Gate, Tower of London
The Tower of London was
significantly expanded in the
thirteenth century, during the
reign of Henry III, when two
defensive walls were built
around the White Tower. The
inner wall had thirteen towers
and the outer wall another six.
The towers were mostly used
to imprison political
opponents.
Famous prisoners
Some of the most famous
prisoners locked in the Tower
were two princes, the sons of
king Edward IV. After Edward's
dead in 1483 the children were
locked in the Bloody Tower by
their uncle, who would later
ascend the throne as king
Richard III. The princes were
never seen again and were
probably killed by guards.
The St. Thomas Tower is
located close to the Bloody
Tower. Here, prisoners were
brought into the fortress by
boat through the Traitor's gate.
