"The Tower of London" (Video)

For over 900 years, the Tower of London has been standing guard over the capital. As a Royal Palace, fortress, prison, place of execution, arsenal, Royal Mint (where money is madre), Royal Zoo and jewel house, it has witnessed many great events in British history.



The Tower of London was originally built by William the Conqueror, following his successful invasion of England in 1066.

The Tower of London is perhaps better known as a prison. 

The responsibility for looking after the prisoners was given to Beefeaters. They are guards. Nowadays, they work there as tourist guides, they care the ravens and defend the Crown Jewels. 




In the centre of the Tower of London is the famous White Tower. It is the oldest part of the fortress. 

As well as being a palace and a fortress, the Tower of London has also served as:

- The first Royal Armoury.
- Royal Mint (where money is made).
- Royal Observatory.
- Royal Zoo.

Today the Tower of London houses the Crown Jewels and is open to the public as a museum.



The Legend of The Ravens: 



Ravens have lived at the Tower of London for hundreds of years. Legend has it that if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London the White Tower will crumble and a great disaster shall befall England!. 




Poppies are placed every year at the Tower of London to mark 100 years since the start od World War 1 (28th  July 1914- 11th  November 1918).
