Tower of London

My biggest revelation in visitng the Tower of London on Tuesday was the discovery that this site is actually a collective group of structures that have served as both palaces and fortresses and places of punishment through the centuries.


In fact, visiting the Tower of London was an eye-opening history lesson that helped consolidate information about the royal lineage, beginning with William the Conqueror who constructed the still awe-inspiring enormous White Tower in 1100!
