BESTI listened to the audio guide while walking around, so I didn't realize how much time had passed. Haha. It was fun to listen to the explanation of Henry VIII's armor and the initials of Henry and Catherine. Haha.
UNESCO World Heritage Site,
Tower of London
Visit the Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can see the crown stolen by Moriarty in the British drama series 'Sherlock' and also see another dark side of the Tower of London, which was also used as a prison.
I highly recommend visiting the Tower of London because it retains the appearance of a medieval castle and has high historical value.
From palaces to prisons,
Tower of London, a landmark in London
The Tower of London has been used as a royal palace since its construction, except for Elizabeth I, but it has also been used as a prison and execution site. In fact, royals such as Edward V and Henry VI were imprisoned here, and they met tragic ends. Come see the Tower of London, which holds a dark history of 1,000 years. In particular, the White Tower and the Crown Jewels are must-sees. The White Tower has great significance in that it was the first tower built by William.
History of the Tower of London
The Tower of London was built in the mid-11th century by the young Norman William the Conqueror. It was initially used as a royal palace and palace, and later as a military prison, military base, and royal ceremonial use. The building has also been used as a place of imprisonment for historically important figures, most notably Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, two queens who were imprisoned and executed there.
The Tower of London is a place that has both a splendid history and a painful history.
Meet the magnificent crown
The biggest reason we must visit the Tower of London is because we can see the crown with the world's largest diamond at the Tower of London Museum.
